Vista - Help Lost my sidebar

After install, i clicked on the windows sidebar and it dissapeared. since
then i havent been able to find it, it is not minimised, and when i turn it
on in controll panell it doesnt appear. however if i increase my screen
resolution to max i can see the gadgets down the bottom right hand corner not
attached to the sidebar, when i attach them to the side bar they dissapear
totaly.

how do i get it back the way it was?

Thanks For Coming

Right click your Taskbar > click Task Manager > Process (tab) > select the
"sidebar.exe" process > click End Process. Restart the system, open Control
Panel > launch Sidebar.

sorry, I should have read your full post before responding. I don't know
where my mind is at today. try right-clicking the sidebar icon in the system
tray, and see if you can change the options there. try setting it to be
"always on top of other windows".
