Fix Windows 7 Sidebar & Gadgets Not Working When UAC is Disabled
I'm using windows 7 and this is the handiest tip for those of us that nuke UAC as the first thing to go in Vista and Win 7. Apparently now they are reliant on one another unless you follow the instructions in the above article. I reprint them here for your reference.
How to Enable Sidebar & Desktop Gadget with Disable/Turned Off UAC in windows 7
1. Click on start and type regedit on search bar
2. Now navigate to follow registry key in left pan of registry editor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Settings
3. Right Click in right pan of registry editor to Create A New DWORD(32 Bit Value) with name “AllowElevatedProcess” and set value as “1”.
4. Now close registry editor
5. Right click on desktop and add desktop gadgets to confirm Desktop gadget and sidebar working properly
Voila.

Hey, this is unrelated:
Did you used to be part of a planet called "Barsoom" on ActiveWorlds? I just remembered that I was, also. I went by DaFan.
That's all. I'm just being nostalgic.
Tried that. Not working for me sadly
