Vista - Vista Sidebar (Gadgets) - Gone missing!

Hi guys,

I've done nothing to my system (no new progs) but this morning the sidebar
is missing.

I've not installed SP1 yet either.

I did a Google search and tried the following fix but it did NOT work for
me:

***************************
Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
Navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones

Make sure that the value data for "1400" is set to 0 (dword:00000000)
Close Regedit.exe

that worked for me, but there is also another solution that could work for
you, this didnt work in me:

Open cmd prompt with admin privileges
type
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll

***************************

Anybody else have a solution please?
