Re: windows sidebar

Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER

Navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Windows \ Sidebar

In the right-pane, delete the value named TurnOffSidebar (if found)

Repeat the same in the following branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Windows \ Sidebar

Exit Registry Editor.

LOL SilverWS602,

Yeah, I just did not have the HKLM part in the tutorial. It needed to be updated anyway.

Thank you for your help.
