Maybe this happens if you upgrade from XP without an admin account to Vista without deleting the file system first. I do not have a system to test this though.

Sorry, but you are completely wrong.
If you were talking about XP, you would be right, but this is craptastic Vista. Vista sees Program Files as "crucial systems files". Therefore the admin accounts does not own the folder, just like what was said above. By turning off UAC, you disable this function. People are also right that if you have UAC on and install apps to a location different than Program Files, you bypass the UAC function.
This is one of the main "features" of Vista that gave it a lot of it's bad press. People would install stuff and they would not work.
