My Sidebar only appears sometimes after logging in. other times, it doesn't show. In Task Manager, sidebar.exe is listed. So what i just do is end the process and just restart the sidebar from the start menu. is there a way to ensure that the sidebar would always execute properly on logon?
Thanks.

Hi,

Try selectively removing gadgets until it successfully starts at every
logon.

Thanks for your reply. yes, it is more successful if i do remove gadgets,
but i was just wondering if i could make my sidebar run with more gadgets
than just a clock. i have an Outlook calendar, Outlook tasks, and the MS
Office gadgets. I already tried re-registering the DLLs but still no change.
I was hoping that there would be a way to ensure that the sidebar would
execute properly or to perhaps load it at startup ahead of all the other
apps included in the startup programs.
 
my machine is updated with all the service packs and hotfixes for Vista and
Office 2007.
Thats what i exactly do, i just keep on goint to task manager to close the
sidebar.exe process and restart it from the start menu. it has always been
set to start when windows starts.
