    Vista gadgets where is the folder?
    « on: December 15, 2007, 02:37:17 PM »
    I am trying to find the gadgets folder for window vista home premium 32bit. Currently when i go online to download a gadget, it is saving to my desktop. Where should i save it to? I have tried dragging it into the sidebar where the gadgets are, but no luck.

      Thanks man, I'm going to have to buy a Windows Vista book. I like Vista, but its like finding my way round rooms in a mansion, including the wardrobes and draws. All of a sudden i feel like a newbie  ;D
