Default Noticed couple of problems

It may just be my install, but I am unable to locate the Launcher gadget for
the sidebar in Beta 2.

I also am unable to add any favorites or links to Internet Explorer.

Is anyone else having these problems?

Thanks,
Norm

That Gadget has been removed since build 5365, no status on whether it will
return in a later build.

You can add a web page to your favorites in IE 7, by clicking the Plus sign
beside the star or by pressing "Alt" on your keyboard > click "Favorites" >
Add to Favorites

Click the Star to view it.

Andre, thanks for the quick reply. I do hope they put the Launcher gadget
back in, as I found it useful.

I have tried clicking on Add Favorites and the + sign, but nothing gets
added.

I moved my Favorites folder to another drive and maybe something is messed
up in the registry, but all the entries I am used to show the favorites
folder as being D:\Favorites, but none of the entries show up in Internet
Explorer and I can't add any.

The Launcher and other gadgets will be available from
www.microsoftgadgets.com for use in Vista and the Live.com homepage )

Zack, I have looked there, but it is not posted as of now.

I guess I will reinstall Vista and make sure everything works before I start
changing. I had problems with build 5270 the first time I installed it and
they went away with a reinstall.

Adding Favourites works fine for me, so I guess it may have to do with your
"moving"
