Windows 7 sidebar

If I understand correctly, Windows 7 does not use VISUAL box serving container for its ' gadgets but the sidebar.exe process is still ongoing. " I found very useful Sidebar while having a big screen and keep it above the windows at all times and be able to have access to the network, processor or other information without having to go through the office. Is there a way to do this in the RC or send Microsoft feedback on this subject?

  • Question of destination.msi Windows Vista Sidebar

    When I try to start Windows Sidebar, I get a windows pop up, the search for file destination.msi.
    How can I fix it?

    Okay, it looks like this problem occurs from time to time. But you can try the following:

    First, you must open the command prompt, but with right click "run as Administrator".
    Then navigate with the command CD to the following folder: C:\progam Windows sidebar.
    OK, now you would type the following:

    1. regsvr32 sbdrop.dll u (after each order approve with the button ENTER)

    2 regsvr32 u wlsrvc.dll

    3 regsvr32 atl.dll

    4 regsvr32 sbdrop.dll

    5 regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll

    Done, your sidebar should work again.

  • Hide the Finder sidebar permanently

    How do permanently hide you the sidebar Finder so that it does not appear in any Finder window? I'd be happy to be able to show when I want it, but not every time I opened a window.

    Like many Mac users (and pros in particular) I constantly work with several windows open simultaneously and having several identical side bars, taking up real estate is certainly not desirable. Frankly, have to hit command-option-s, everytime I open a window is a hack.

    When I press Command + Option + S to hide the sidebar, and I open a new Finder window, the sidebar is always hidden.  He returned in a new window until I chose to display it.  As far as I know however, there is no way to remove it permanently.  You can hide only, just like you can hide the sidebar in Safari.
