    I guess you did select well ALL the files before re-packing...?
    Ok... ive found what you mean, done what you said, and still its not working below is how i did it, just like you said! from pic 1 to 5.

    Pic1: the folder itself.
    Pic2: selected all files in the folder and went to folder options.
    Pic3: i beleive the one you mean is the one which ive put the arrow there?
    Pic4: renamed the file to .gadget in 7zip.
    Pic5: pressed ok! it did it... but then pressed install and i get: 'this is not a valid gadget package'

    Now in Pic3: do i need to restart computer for this? i did uncheck the 1st box at the top like you have done, though that didnt work i tried the other 2 below it also! still nothing ...

    Sorry for all this trouble! lol

    Really no problem!!! We are gonna fix that !!! Sorry for slow response, i just came back from work and i think we've just missed ourselves for a couple of minutes...

    So, first, there's no need to select anything to go in the "folder options". They are general options, which means that if you do something in it, it's for all the files in your computer. Just open your explorer, go to the options and uncheck the options i've marked in the attached image below (i capt' your own image...), then you can leave the "folder options", next steps are out of it...

    Second : i see that your folder (the one which contains all the files shown in pic 1) is called "MyGadget.gadget"; it must be named only "MyGadget" (see my capt')

    Third : in your pic 4, i see a window which has not to be..., all you have to do is select all files of your pic 1, then right clic on one of the files (this will open the contextual menu), then slide your mouse on "7zip", this will open a new menu, then left clic on "add to MyGadget.zip" (i join the corresponding pic of my tuto). This will make a zip archive named "MyGadget.zip" (it will appears just between "gadget.xml" and "settings.html" in the files shown in your pic 1). This the file you have to rename, just select the "zip" and write "gadget"


    Don't worry, i stay tuned for more info if needed...!

    Good luck...

    EDIT : thanks for your observations, they allow me to shape my tuto...

    Please remember what i said in the tuto :
    You are not allowed to share customized gadget WITHOUT the owner's permission!!!

    Adding more options means that you must be able to make programmation... The subject here is to make a gadget closer to your own style, for your own use, if you need more, than learn how to make a gadget (from a to z) by yourself...
    Maybe this will help you : create your own windows gadget
    As you will can see, this is not a simple job, so, PLEASE, respect the author's work!!!
    Generaly, you can find links to the creator in the gadget's options or in the inside files (like a "read me" file, for exemple)
