I have the beta version of windows 7 on my pc and its a great os but when i click on the sidebar icon in control panel the sidebar dont come up even though if i right click my mouse and click gedgets i can select them but when i restart my pc and go back into the desktop the gadgets are gone because i can't get into the sidebar options to set the bar to start when i restart my computer.

In vista i was able to see the sidebar icon in the system tray in the bottom right side of the desktop but its not there. I used to be able to click on that icon and tick startup when windows starts.
