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.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
