A simple "right-click->preferences->compatibility->"run as administrator" is enough. Freenet runs beautifully under Vista (tested with Vista Business x64 with java 6 u13). A page explaining this, linked from the downloads page, would be a good workaround in time. Should be under an hour to create ;)
