I would like to know what services rely on the Computer Status gadget, because I am following this guide: Sean's Windows 7 Install & Optimization Guide for SSDs & HDDs
and somewhere along the line of my optimizations I have lost the display of my HDD's, WiFi, Ram etc in my Computer Status gadget. 
anyone with any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you | My System Specs |

I really only care to use the gadget because I hide my desktop icons and i can empty the trash by clicking the red x. i guess i will be ditching this gadget 'till a solution comes along.

ok... thanks to Brinks article over here: Windows Features - Turn On or Off
I have restored all the Windows Features to default checkboxes and I now have my gadget working.
NOW i will remove one by one till I find it and report back here.
:::EDIT:::
It was in FACT the "Media Features" that I had unchecked and didn't allow the "Computer Status" gadget to work/display properly.
I guess 'Media' in this case means more than WMP, LOL. Yep Media are also HDD's in this case.
