..... if you don't have Vista Business or Vista Ultimate, you can achieve
the same by changing the value at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

PromptOnSecureDesktop

from 1 to 0

You can also change the way Security Center nags you after you make
this change. Open up Security Center and to the left you'll see
"Change the way security center alerts me".
