U can solve this very easily by adding a registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Settings

4. Now close registry editor

5. Right click on desktop and add desktop gadgets to confirm Desktop gadget and sidebar working properly



--------------------------

another known issue with sidebar is, if you set your PC location out of US region, u get a message in weather gadget that service is not available.



to fix this problem, either u can set ur location to US,
or overwrite the file "program fies\windows sidebar\wlsrvc.dll"
with this patched one....

Download wlsrvc.dll

(you have to change ownership options to overwrite the file)

i dont think u can make any auto patcher, because no program can change ownerships of a file unless that program has rights to do so....
and here we are doing exactly that to change the control of a file.........

well, the process is like this, follow 1 by 1.....


TO change ownership and take control -

1. right click> properties
2. secutrity tab > advanced
3. owner tab > edit
4. change owner to > administrator
5. confirm and exit by clicking ok(s)

now u have ownership, but not full control
so do this,

1. right click> properties
2. secutrity tab > edit
3. select system and allow full control
4. select administrator and allow full control
5. select users and allow full control
6. confirm and exit by clicking ok(s)

DONE ! now u have every type of control on that file.
