I can only guess you are talking about UAC.
Control Panel>User accounts
disable UAC

Well, its really a limitation of the program itself, since applicatons in
Windows Vista need to support the changes in the new user privileges where
applications don't run with full administrative privileges to begin with.
This is a new shift in how developers maintain and update their applications
and it will only take time and possibly new releases of certain programs to
conform to the new standard. Disabling UAC in Vista is not the answer, since
it defeats the purpose of security in the OS.

I don't think disabling UAC is the answer. For a start the notification
alert keeps bugging me in the taskbar if I switch UAC off.

All I want is to disable the confirmation dialogs in Vista -- the ones which
gray out the screen in the background and more often than not offer either
the Continue or Cancel option.

Alternatively what can I do to avoid having the background screen greyed out
when one of these dialogs pops up?

i have UAC turned off and nothing is reminding me in the taskbar....
just go to the security center and change the way it alerts you.  (go to
control panel, security center)

oops, go to control panel, Windows security center.  (the applets are
alphabetically arranged by default)

Sounds like Security Center Notifications:
