how to disable system restore in windows vista 32?

You can go to the Control Panel System System Protection on the left
pane and uncheck the disk under Automatic restore points. It will ask if
you are sure. Say yes, and the System Restore feature is disabled.

If you disable SR you will eventually regret it. I suggest you post the
specific problem(s) you have had with it to see if it can be solved.

I couldn't agree more. I've never had system restore do anything substantial
for me. I often debate whether I should even leave it turned on. Probably
not. If I ever had anything major go wrong, I would be better off doing a
reformat anyway.

Type "System Restore" into the search box, click on "open System
Protection" link and uncheck the hard drive containing your %systemroot%
directory.

Just because you can't figure out how to use it doesn't mean it's
useless.

That can happen, it all depends on what you're trying to restore, and
why. Conversely, under certain circumstances it can be a virtual
life-saver, especially when it comes to rolling back driver updates.

it is totally useless

In XP, I'd more or less have agreed with you (or at least it wasn't
reliable enough for my tastes, the few times I had occasion to use it, I
ended up having to manually remove the unwanted drivers anyway), but in
Vista, I've had much better luck.

I might append my earlier post by saying my less-than-satisfying experience
with system restore has all been in Windows XP. I'm a newbie to Vista, so
perhaps system restore works better in it.
