Getting control in Vista

Well, I've installed Vista X64 on one of my partitions, and I'm finding a LOT of things I like

However, there are a few things that I'm not overly enthused about

Now, I got the danged UAC turned off, and that's made life a LOT simpler, but I'm having problems with 'Ownership' of files and folders.

I do a lot of 'tweaking'of files in IL2, and FSX, and a few other places, and I keep getting the 'access denied' BS, and then have to go in a get ownership, and it's a pain in the butt. I use WINDOWS EXPLORER a lot, and that's where I''m having problems.

I'm not afraid to experiment, and if I totally trash this OS, it's no big deal as I have 5 other OSs that I can use, so all I would need to do is re-install the Vista one.

Is there any fairly easy way to get total 'ownership'/control over Vista? Similar to what we have in XP? I just want to go to where I want to go in the system, and change what I want to change without any BS.
