Ok everyone, Me and KW have came up with something I know everyone is going to want. We packed up three different version of the sidebar, which are: Standard, Curved, and Glass. We put some of our favorite gadgets we have found in it as well. I made a nice GUI menu so you can click whichever one you want to install. The credits and batch files were done by KW so they would install with my menu. I hope everyone enjoys, me and KW put a up sometime to do this, and we are proud of it. I have uploaded it so everyone can enjoy. As the gadgets are concerned, we found them on the web, so thank you to everyone who made these.Attached File  Windows_XP_Sidebar_Working.zip   5.22MB   486 downloads

There are THREE different ones in the pack.

There are different gadgets you can add to this, expand the menu and double click any you want...you will need to remove some or drag them on the desktop as it gets full
