Stocks For Windows 7 (by Microsoft) - Where can I find it?

I really couldn't care less about MS dumping gadgets since 99% of them were useless, but this is one of the few gadgets that were actually useful. It seems to be impossible to find, which is strange because it's made by MS and it's a really useful gadget. I do have one installed on another computer but don't know if/how it would be possible to transfer it to my new laptop. Does anyone know where I could find this or how I'd be able to transfer it onto my new laptop from my other computer?

Hello COOLAS1CE and welcome to Seven Forums.

It's my understanding that Microsoft (in all of its wisdom) discontinued that widget /gadget when it released Windows 7 back in 2009.

If you have it on another computer you can certainly transfer it to another one.
It will be located in one of three areas
C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
AppData is a hidden folder followed this tutorial to see it Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide
they also may be in
C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
Just copy the gadget folder you want to the same place in the other computer.
