Note: See below for a registry fix for Windows Vista Home.
In order to disable UAC prompts for administrators you need to open the Local Security Policy for your computer. To do this click start and type secpol.msc into the Start/Search box (Click Start –> enter secpol.msc in the search box and press enter). Navigate to Local Policies –> Security Options.
In the list, locate: “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” and double-click on it.
