I'm missing my friend the sidebar
I notice the files are still there, but I cant get it to run. I have had a quick play trying to move the vista files over and that doesn't work either.
Anybody had any luck getting it running or can point me to a substitute.
I thought I would try Shawn's Vista instructions for re registering the dll's etc, but it hasn't worked.
Gonna leave it alone for now and keep installing my apps, I'll come back to this one later.
The sidebar was discontinued in Windows 7, the only files that are still there are for the Windows 7 Gadgets (Which you can post anywhere on the desktop now.) Access them by right clicking the desktop and then click Gadgets and then you can install the new ones or use the ones that come with it. If you want them in a sidebar perhaps align them in a line.
Putting them all in a line is just not the same
I now have my old vista sidebar back- https://www.sevenforums.com/general-d....html#post1946
Hello linuzo.

Yes, I do understand that there might be some people that want it back. However I was just stating that Microsoft didn't really intend for people to use the sidebar with Win7. I see that HowTo now but honestly myself I hated the sidebar.. lol
Also does the sidebar take the same amount of memory in Windows 7 as Vista or Less?
It's running here at 8,308k which I think is lots less than it uses on Vista.
It seems very silly to me for Microsoft to remove the sidebar and leave the gadgets...why not just have it switched off by default and let the user deside!!!
