Win 7- Vista Sidebar
Hey Guys:
I have win 7 now and it's on a new computer. I've never had Vista, but would like to have a Vista sidebar. Is there any way to do this since it's a clean install...not an upgrade? Thanks! Wayne |

Hi Reeder. Welcome to SevenForums
 Sidebar was a function of Vista which Windows 7 no longer has. In Windows Vista, gadgets were lined up on the right side of your desktop. Windows 7 sets them free on the screen, where you can move and resize them as you like. For more information on Windows 7 gadgets have a look here: Desktop gadgets (overview) Hope this helps  . |
