Please search for instructions on how to do that.
Vista has UAC (User Access Control) enabled by default. It means that
real administrator power requires the "consent" dialog -- even if you
are logged in as a member of the Administrators group. The only user
that does not get that dialog is the actual "Adminstrator" account
itself, but that account is disabled and the password unknown by
default.
The idea for UAC is that you should *never* run as the actual
Administrator -- you shuld run as unprivileged user all the time, and
only for the <1% time you need to perform an administrative task do
you temporarily "elevate" your own privileges to do so. Thus, when you
browse the web or read email the other >99% of the time, you will run
as unpriviledged user such that even IF you attacked by virus/trojan
and such malware, you have no privileges to harm anything.
