    Vista 64bit sys, sp1

    I'm the only one who ever uses this PC so is there a way to
    log-on as the administrator?

    Will doing the admin log-on get rid of the User Account Control
    and the Continue windows? If not, is it possible to bypass
    both of those windows?

    thanks,
    savagcl

    AFAIK, the built in administrator is disabled by default in Windows Vista.
    You'll have to enable the administrator using Computer Management.

    I suggest you run Vista as intended. By running as Admin, you are only going to shoot yourself in the foot.

    Use my article that PeteC linked to above to change UAC to your liking.
