Any one know of a hack where I can disable a user account in Vista Home like can be done in Vista Business?
 
I don't have one to test with at the moment, but try this from a command prompt:
net user username /active:no

(If username has a space, use double quotes)
 
I have used this old XP Home workaround program in Vista Premium successfully. You can download it from this *temporary* private housing.

NCS AccountView - Windows account manager

"NCS AccountView is a power tool for 2000/XP/2003 account management. In addition to the standard account management functions, it offers the option to create Groups in Windows XP Home Edition, as well as management of hidden accounts. It also allows you to restrict login based on time of day (e.g only allow user to login during business hours). Additional features include account import and export, display of SID for each account and more".
