SideBar Launcher

Does anybody know where the "launcher" went in build 5384? I love that
feature and I can't find it anywhere?

Hi,

It should still be there. Right click the taskbar and choose properties,
check the notification area settings.

For the little gadget in the sidebar? It was in build 5308, but it does not
appear to be in 5364. You could put things like paint, cmd, calc in it
instead of having to go through menus or type the command line.

It definitely exists in build 5384, same thing as was in the earlier builds.
Do you have it enabled in the Control Panel/Windows Sidebar?

I only have the following gadgets in my "Add Gadgets" dialog. I have SideBar
set to monitor 1, not to start with Windows, and to stay on top of other
programs.

calculator
clock
cpu meter
currency conversion
drive meter (downloaded)
feed viewer
feed watcher
notes
number puzzle
picture puzzle
recycle bin
slide show
stocks
timer

The drive meter I downloaded off of www.microsoftgadgets.com.

We pulled it from Vista for a variety of reasons. It may show up again at
http://gallery.microsoft.com in the future.

Are you able to say why it was removed? That was the best gadget out of the
bunch.

There were a number of bugs in the gadget that we couldn't fix by beta 2.
Instead of shipping something half-baked, we took it out. Having said that,
I don't know if its coming back into the Vista box - you should file a
suggestion to bring it back, customer feedback is always useful to help
drive these decisions.

Even if we don't bring it back into the Vista box, it could alternatively
come back as a web download at http://gallery.microsoft.com.
