Gadgets

[porshiepoo]

My daughters have Windows Vista on their laptops and they seem to have all these cool gadgets that they can have on their screens like little weather icons and little puzzles etc.
Can we get them for Xp users? I want!

LOL it's usually one of the first things I turn off PP! A clock - well Windows already has one in the bottom RH corner, a calendar - double click the same clock and up will pop a calendar, weather - it's not a forecast so simply look outside the window!, notepad - erm, it's tiny so I prefer real Post-Its. You get my drift - there's nothing really new or startling there!

However if you REALLY want them then here (http://en.softonic.com/s/vista-sidebar-xp-gadgets) you go.

There is also Yahoo Widgets (http://widgets.yahoo.com/) which essentially does the same thing and works on Windows XP, Vista and also Mac OSX.
