Hey! this is an EXCELLENT SITE! Thanks Mr.Geek! It has helped me so much in getting my new computer with vista os. I have been telling my friends about your site since I found it.
Two questions…I followed your steps to disable the Windows Has Blocked info..and do not get a system config utility as you show in your instructions. Could you please check and update what needs to be done to rid us of this annoying pest?
2)Is there a way to disable the little windows in the taskbar when on-line?
Thanks again for a great site! I am so happy that I found you.
sincerely,
Bruce in Salem, OR

Apparently the “apply” changes the sidebar for XPs only. So on Vista, you must restart..

To notice changes you first have to end the sidebar.exe process in Taskmangaer and then restart it. That’s what I did and it changed.

Note that it doesn’t resize the gadgets (like a Gnome user would tend to expect, or I did at any rate) only the sidebar background.

Doesn’t work for multiple monitors. Will not let me move it off of the main Windows monitor.

This isn’t working for me. It doesn’t change the background of the sidebar. Arghhh!
