Restore gadgets to Windows Sidebar

If you accidentally remove gadgets from Windows Sidebar in Windows Vista, you can restore them.

To restore the original gadgets that came with Sidebar:

- Right-click the sidebar, and then click Properties.

- In the Sidebar Properties window, click Restore gadgets installed with Windows.

To restore gadgets to Sidebar that you downloaded from Windows Live Gallery:

- Browse or search Gallery to find the gadget that you want.

- Download and reinstall the gadget. After you install a Sidebar gadget, it's automatically added to Sidebar.

1. Open Windows Sidebar properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Windows Sidebar Properties.

2. Click Restore gadgets installed with Windows.

That should restore them.
