Vista - GADGET file question

Can someone please tell me what program (and where to find it under 'Browse')
to open GADGET files with. I acidently opened it with notepad so i dont know
what the default program to open the files with so it can install.

You use Windows Sidebar.

There is no program, per se, that you can navigate to using the "Open With"
dialog.
You can, however, restore the registry settings required for the .gadget
file opening association.

Cut and Paste the code below and save it into a .reg file. Then double
click on that file to insert the values into your registry:

- - - Cut and Paste START - - -

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.Gadget]
@="Windows.Part"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.Gadget\shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.Gadget\shellex\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.Gadget\shellex\open\DropTarget]
"CLSID"="{6B9228DA-9C15-419e-856C-19E768A13BDC}"

- - - Cut and Paste END - - -

You're welcome!
