Vistas pissing me off,turn off...?

How can I turn off everything that makes it so I need administrative approval? It's not enough that I have an admin account. Hell It wont even let me move files to C:. How can I turn off all this annoying "protective" shit?

Or unlock the secret admin account throught the control panel, it works on Win7 as well as on vista(I think), but it's still pretty ridiculous. Just google it :-D
