Anyways, is there a way to have UAC off, without that coming up?

No...   Right click on the red shield icon. Select open security center. In the blue bar, select change the way security center alerts me. Choose the option that you suits you best.   If you do not have virus protection and adware/spyware protection. I do not recommend you turn off UAC. People find it as an annoyance, when really it eliminates the need for virus protection if you know what your doing. Thanks! I do completely agree, but I have AV Protection, and I know what Im doing, so its a HUGE annoyance. Its all gone now though, so Im back to enjoying Vista again.
