Vista sidebar gadgets

I lost my gadgets on startup.

How do I get them back?

Thank You in advance.

It's in... Start -> All Programs -> Accessories. Once it's open, if you right click on the icon in the taskbar and go to options, you can get it to start automatically again.

Thanks for the response.

I tried this.

I think one step is missing or I am not understanding what is stated.

Any more information is appreciated.

Again, I have my gadgets. It's just that they do not show up on initial start up of computer as when computer was new.

So how do I get the gadgets on right of screen to show up upon turning on my computer?

Thanks.

When the gadgets are open you should get an icon in the taskbar. Right click it and go to properties. At the top of the windows you tick the box which says 'Start sidebar when windows starts'.

Here's a tutorial: Windows Sidebar - the complete guide | Windows Vista for Beginners

Hope it's all sorted now.
