Vista - Sidebar - download??

In trying to fix a major problem with my computer...working with Dell
Support...my Sidebar was somehow uninstalled or something. I can download
gadgets galore...but how do I get the actual Sidebar program back again?? I
really liked it and had NO problems with it. The actual problem had nothing
to do with the actual Sidebar.

Try the following steps:

Click Start, All Programs, Accessories,

Type these commands one by one:
