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 finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
