Chapter 21. Using Windows Accessory Programs > Using Sidebar and Gadgets

Using Sidebar and Gadgets

New with Windows Vista are mini-applications or gadgets that you can add to your desktop, in a vertical bar called the Sidebar. (On some systems, the Sidebar might be displayed automatically. On others, you’ll have to turn it on.) These gadgets provide nuggets of customized information at a glance, such as a Clock, a slideshow that displays pictures, and a news feed that supplies current headlines. You can select which gadgets you want to appear in your sidebar. You can also download and install other gadgets.

Tip

You can also type the name of a folder or document to open it or type an Internet site to open it and display that site.
