I tried Windows repair 1.4.1 and specially "Repair Windows Sidebar/Gadgets"
3 of my gadget disappear then I tried "Repair Windows Sidebar/Gadgets (Calender
Gadget 1.1.0.0, Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor 1.0 and Clock 1.0.0.0),
and it seems that I have to restart to gain access to them again?
No, they didn't came back even if I restarted win 7!
And this 2 disappear and came back as I think it should
Earthquakes meter v 1.1 and All CPU Meter v3.7
Don't know if it is 64 and 32-bit thing?
I think so, I had a look in the "Process explorer" before I started a repair in
"windows repair", there was a 64-bit siderbar.exe and after there is not.
But if I take my own "Reset_Gadgets.bat" it all cames back at once.
Ok now I see that you have written about it in the text above here;
"I have the repair program write the bat file out then run it. When I had
"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe"
In the bat file the bat file would never close. So I had to remove it."What about adding: start "" in the bat file? So it automatically closes.
So it lookes like this:
start "" "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe"
I have tried it on my bat file and it does automatically closes down.
And if somebody wants to see what happens then the bat is run, it is also
possibly to add Timeout 10(or what number you want), so it waits 10 seconds
before it closes down automatically.
I was thinking about the text in "Repair Windows Sidebar/Gadgets:"
Maybee you could change this text "(Such as gadgets with just a white
background)" to something like (Such as Calender Gadget with a blank page)
This is how the Calender gadget looks like when it doesn't work:

restart now? Is it possible not to have the popup here? I understand that I
must restart for the other "repair options" it is necessary for this option? =)
