I was trying to install Xampp in my Vista OS..but because of UAC turned on,I am not able to use all the features of Xampp,during installation it asks me to disable UAC to enjoy all the features..but I knew that turning UAC off is not a good thing(in terms of safety).What to do?

If you check the official FAQ page of Xampp Website, you will find the solution.

Windows Vista has a few problems. One of them is Missing write privileges.
In the directory "C:\program files" you don't have full write privileges, even as Admin. Or you have only limited privileges (e.g. for ".\xampp\htdocs"). In this case you can't edit a file.
Solution: Raise your privileges with in explorer (right click / security) or disable the user account control (UAC).

Thanks AKD,I didn't knew that we can raise privileges(really helpful) because in that way I don't have to disable UAC just for Xampp usage.
