    gadgets disappear when I click "show desktop"


    Pretty sure in the past when I "show desktop" (button in lower right, or Windows+D) my gadgets would still be visible, but now they disappear just like the other open programs.

    Is there a way to get it back to they stay visible?

    If I hoover over the Show Desktop Button they stay, but if I click on it they go away.

When you click show desktop, all the desktop icons have disappeared. Then when you mouse over where they are, the icons and names will re-appear. Has anyone encountered this issue? Win7 Ent x32. Recently reformatted.
