.Gadget files are for the Windows Vista Sidebar.

You have to have Windows Vista.

Thanks to both. I am running Vista Ultimate, that's why I asked about these new "Sidebar Gadgets".

I am planning an article about Sidebar Gadgets in the near future for new users of Vista and Sidebar Gadgets.

normaly they are located on: C:/Users//AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Sidebar/Gadgets.

just copy this into the adressbar since the appdata folder is a hidden System folder. this means you can only open it with use of the adressbar unless you have admin rights.

good luck!
