Windows Sidebar is a pane on the side of the Microsoft Windows Vista desktop where you can keep your gadgets organized and always available. Windows Sidebar makes great use of the space on widescreen monitors and also works smoothly on standard displays.
You can easily customize Windows Sidebar to suit your preferred location—always on top or resting below maximized windows. If you don’t want to keep your gadgets docked on the Windows Sidebar, you can simply move them off, hide the sidebar, and place them anywhere on your desktop.

Gadgets can also have any number of dedicated purposes. They can be calculators, games, sticky notes, and more.
