I noticed some forums have stickies of things like best free software for windows 7, etc

How about one of best/favorite gadgets? Ive noticed looking at some peoples screenshots, that there are some very cool gadgets out there. And it's not always easy to find some of the ones in peoples screenshots.

So, any chance of a Stickied Gadget thread?

OK, I finally got exactly what I was looking for, although it took me about 2 hours to configure. :rolleyes:

(But at least now I have everything down in one gadget!) :D

Hey Doc, no problem. It was a bit of a hassle to get it working, but once you got it figured out it works great.
-You first have to install the HWMonitor meter. Inside this folder is also another exe file that enable you to minimize the application.
-Then you must install the gadget, the other zip file.

I only have this for 64bit, but let me know if you need the 32bit, and I will get it for you.

Let me know if you need any help. I have been through the whole process, so I know it can be a bit frustrating! :)
