Might want to post this question to people who know the answers to the technical question. Try the tech forum. But I don't believe you will lose any files at all.
I've always backed up my files when I install operating systems but I've never needed to restore those files unless I chose to wipe then install. If you choose just to install the OS only, personal files should remain intact.
I like vista, with a few tweaks it's not a bad OS.
Here's what you can do to make it easier to deal with...
Don't like that pesky UAC? Start > Accessories > Run > type in msconfig hit Run. Go to the Tools tab and click "Disable UAC" and Launch. On your next Reboot UAC will be gone.
You can speed up things a bit by going to the Boot Tab clicking Advanced Options and if your using a multi-core processor check the box for "Number of Processors" and selecting how many you have.
Do those 2 things or even if you don't want to kill the UAC there's a even better way though it's a bit annoying..
Go to Start > Control Panel (Needs to be in Classic View) > Administration Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > Security Options > User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode > Change it to Elevate without prompting.
This will leave UAC's security in check without the Pop Ups.
