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!Last edited by Ex_Brit; 07 Aug 2009 at 18:54.

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?

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.
