"There is no Administrative tools->Local Security policy on my machine."
I thought so. The above alows you to customize UAC and is only avaliable in Buisness/Enterprise/Ultimate.
Never used skype can't see the point of it. But a search on the net may prove fruitful.
It took me about a day to get Vista and XP to talk to each other with UAC enabled (with help from the net and the books I mentioned above). I got Ubuntu to talk to it in a fashion about two days (its a samba problem and its best to use CIFS (I just can't be bothered to set it up properly).
Look into LLTD (Link-Layer Topology Discovery) update for Windows XP.
I've used Vista about 9 months now and still only scrached the surface.
If you need to activate the disabled Administrator account (if Basic/Home/Premium support it).
In the start menu find the Command Promt Box, right click it and select run as administrator (thats if UAC is enabled).
Type in the dos box
net user administrator password (replace "password" with your password)
then type
net user administrator /active:yes
you will eventually get to grips with Vista it just takes time, patience, reading and a lot of searching.
