Hi,
I have Found that in windows 7 sidebar with gadget and UAC are related means if you turn off or disable UAC in windows 7 then sidebar will not work.This has been done to prevent users from installing any malicious unsigned desktop gadget in windows 7. Well here is small work around basically a registry change to make windows 7 sidebar with gadget to work when UAC is disabled or turned off.
- Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press ENTER
- Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Sidebar \ Settings
- Create a new DWORD value named AllowElevatedProcess
- Double-click AllowElevatedProcess and set its Value data to 1
- Exit the Registry Editor.
