I'm just saying that you said what someone did was illegal when you and others are taking a sidebar created by MICROSOFT, adding things to it and calling it your own. Someone else does it and you said it's illegal. I'm not even saying that I know anything about it. All I did was point out that you told someone what they was doing was illegal when you're doing the same thing.

RICoShoCks will you stop offering me baby solutions here mate, im not a noob, and yes of course I have hit the add parts button, if you had read my post it might have occured to you that I have the default parts fine as I am trying to get the NEW parts working or simply recongised by the sidebar program.

The Default Parts folder in Program Files/Windows Sidebar is only there so that when the sidebar extracts the files, these default parts get copied to Documents and Settings/Owner/Parts.

So you only need to put the new parts in this folder not in "Default Parts".

Also make sure you see a undefined file with an extension ending exactly like "file_name.part".

If you had to force the extension, you need to go to foder options and uncheck 'hide known extenstions".

BTW edit your post, don't double post. - CoShoCks

Oh and I hate it when ppl post their screenshots in full res, not a thumbnail, on forums like this.

It is distracting and makes the forums expand, so I have to drag the damn thing from left to right all the time.

O.K. listen!

It is illigal to post a link to the sidebar.exe, we aren't talking about making it. The guy posted a modded sidebar.exe which is warez, IT IS ILLIGAL TO POST WAREZ IN FORUMS LIKE THIS. We haven't said anything about making a sidebar or non the less call it our own creation. It is the mods you call yours, since you made them, they are yours. The gadgets are your own as well if you wrote the code, made the png and ditributed the files.

The sidebar, however, no one calls it his/hers.

Exactly ! Read that and shut up ,halloween_david ! :rolleyes:

Don't be rude! :p

He has his right to opinions. I was just correcting his incorrect opinion, or making it a fact.

Hey,iam not rude, but he attcked me several times and was everytime wrong, so I don't want him to comment my posts.

;)

Welcome to the boards JaneK.

Yes a quicklaunch would be nice and yes it would be possible, you just need to know Javascript and any type of widget is possible.

As for my problem discussed earlier, the laptop doesnt want a bar of this app but sure enough setup everything the same on the desktop and boom working and with all the new gadgets so I dunno why it wouldnt work on the lappy.

I stoped using the sidebar...I find it a bit useless now. Or may be because I'm not used to use it. And it uses too much of my precious space, may be if I could get more than 1152 x 864. Also if it could do less than 15mbs of resources that'll be great too.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
