Gadgets and Show Desktop

[BBullit]

So this is a minor one, hopefully...

Is there a way to disable Windows 7 from hiding the gadgets when using show desktop? (e.g. keyboard [Windows] + [D]) I have a mouse button bound to show desktop as well and use it quite frequently--however, hiding all of the gadgets is not what I want it to do... Any info?

Hi,

By default when you click 'Show Desktop' the gadgets should still remain in view. Some ppl say that they disappear by nature, i believe that this is not the case.

I had similar behaviour once and it turned out to be IE 9 Beta causing the gadgets to vanish upon clicking show desktop. Here is the thread >

Aha! Any ideas as to how IE9 actually causes this? I'll be uninstalling shortly...

Hi,

I'm afraid i don't know what in particular was causing it. I have been to busy to play around and see.

No worries, if I were more knowledgeable I'd try to find it myself... Thanks for your help! =)

what about if you're using the vista sidebar on 7? is there any way to stop the sidebar disappearing?

Hi,

I don't have Windows Vista installed to see if this issue happens on it. I know for a fact that the IE9 beta causes the 'show dessktop' to hide the gadgets aswell on both 32 and 64 bit variants of Win7.

I also have not installed the Vista Sidebar on 7 to see.

Have you IE9 Beta installed? Does it effect the Sidebar?
