I just want to disable it for certain programs that I run more often.

Will destroy your computer given time. My wife had to do this with her computer because of some work software not vista-compatible. It's sent her computer into a complete nose dive in regards to performance. Vista machines aren't being made XP compatible.
As for doing the PokerStars deal, you either turn off the User Account Control or just run as admin. And to be honest, leaving the UAC active isn't that bad. It's just people with no patience who can't deal with it long-term.

I don't know the exact details but I've been told this from a number of extremely good tech people I know. Here's my take on it:
XP programming is based on Windows 98. At its foundation XP IS 98, that's why there's never really been any major compatibility issues when moving up. There has been some, but not to the extent that XP to Vista is having. If someone knows anything about computer games then just consider Vista's "game engine" is completely new.
What this means (from what I've heard) is that now computers are being built to directly deal with the Vista. Apprently Vista and XP deal with the hardware in different ways. Basically the computer will work with XP but it won't work to it's optimum level. Almost similar to "over clocking".
But again, the explanation is mine. But I've seen it on a few computers do it and spoken to some techies I know and they've all said that if you have Vista, just stick with it.

Don’t disable Vista UAC system-wide; disable Vista UAC per application

do you mean run under an administrator account, or run the program as admin?
