Im trying to add a gadget into the windows vista sidebar and im having no luck. I have choosen the gadget from(http://microsoftgadgets.com) and it still doesnt appear in the gadget list when adding the gadget. Not sure if this is a bug or im just not doing somthing right.
 
Well unfortunately those gadgets are for live.com not the Vista Sidebar. There are only a few gadgets that have been made for the Vista sidebar.

This site has some news about the Sidebar gadgets that you might find useful.
 
Oh ok, I thought you could add them gadgets into the sidebar. When I open the gadgets to choose from it takes me to that link. I hope they add heaps more.

Thanks for that buddy
 
Well i am with you on that. I hope they do add more gadgets for the Sidebar soon. I have the Vista Sidebar from build 5219 running with my XP right now and i only have 4 gadgets. I would like some more. I will have to wait and see if the build 5308 Sidebar gets ported to XP. ;)
 
you woudnt know how to turn off the security warning when trying to access things that require admin rights.
 
Are you talking about the UAP protection. I belive that i can find that info for you.

To Disable UAC

UAC can either be disabled permanently, or temporarily for software installation purposes.

To disable UAC:


Run > secpol.msc

> Local Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options

scroll to

User Account Control: Run all users, including administrator, as standard users

select Disabled, close

Reboot


UAC can be restored by following the same procedure, and selecting Enabled.

Note: Technically, this tweak actually leaves UAC enabled, but sets it so that it no longer prevents the administrator user account
having full control of the system. However, there is a related security risk with this tweak, and those wishing extra security without the pop-up hassles may wish to just change elevation prompt behaviour as described hereafter, and manually select specific programs to run with Administrator privileges.
