If i hade the ultimate sidebar for vista i then might could make it work But what if i dont have the vista folder to put in my windows seven?Any help would be apprechated
I'm doing this in my new RTM Win 7 x64 and can activate the sidebar from a shortcut but right-clicking the desktop and selecting Gadgets merely starts the gadgets and not the sidebar. I seem to have missed something here.
Addendum: I later realised that I had to do the procedure on the Program Files folder item, NOT the Program Files (x86) one...DOH!

i stiil never had the sidebar to begin with just doing onership on the sidebar gadget folder doent help what so ever. my thoughts are if you never had a sidebar you wont get one unless the xp hack will work on 7?
Another awesome tutorial that made me do my happy dance. :) Thanks.
Brilliant Grim, great tutorial.
I've been having the same problem as ciad602. Fly-out menus don't work at all. Everything else works perfectly fine. If anyone finds a solution to the problem please leave a reply.
Thanks again Grim!
Sorry for sounding thick but how do you copy your side bar folder from Vista when you dont have Vista installed?!
Do you have to d/l Vista sidebar (if you can d/l it...) and install it and then copy the files?
Well someone very kindly sent me the relevant files and i now have the Vista sidebar in W7...thanks, great tutorial. :)
Works like a charm. In addition I suggest to put the newly aquired sidebar .exe into the startup folder. Else you have to start the sidebar gadgets manually each time.
