I want to disable ALL security on my Vista System.

Can't. Some of it is built into the kernel -- write a new kernel and you can do what you want.

Google on this, you'll find tips for enabling login without requiring a password.

I want every file visible/readable/writable/executable by ANYBODY who happens onto my network.

Can't. Can take ownership of some directories, but other are off-limits, regardless of who you are.

I don't want any popups asking for permission to do anything.

Can't be done. Can suppress some popups under some circumstances, but there are rare situations where, even logged in as the "real" Administrator, you will get a popup.

I'd rather not have all the bloat and duplication in folders for

Can't be done. Write your own OS, or move to a non-Windows platform.

I want a single-user system and to be administrator of all things.

If you remove the "real" Admin account in Vista, you run the risk of trashing the OS. Only way to have this is to go back to XP.

Is this info all in one place? Or better yet, a magic incantation

Surely you jest!! You think MS would go to all the trouble to ADD all this and then provide a single mouse-click, or registry entry, that would disable it all?? Get Real!!
IF you want this kind of open system, install a GNU/Linux derivative and have everyone login as "root".
