I think Asus was making some monitors which were wide than normal to
accommodate the sidebar. Don't know if they were a hit or not, or if

The problem with putting gadgets anywhere is keeping them visible. If
you keep them all on one side, at least you can try to open windows
opposite it. I use the Google sidebar which has always allowed one to
drag widgets all over. But I don't, because I want them all together
so I can see them.

I could do that also.
I have a dock at the office on a regular 17" monitor so I am changing
screen sizes a lot and when I do that I was loosing the widgets. So
I just opted for the dock right now.
It is just handy with the dock right now. I also only use widgets
that display the info while

So how come clicking on "Do Nothing" and checking the box to always
perform the selected action does nothing? Is MS trying to be funny?

I didn't mean to imply that libraries aggregate by file type. Just the
opposite, really. Instead of containing all pictures or videos or whatever,
they would contain everything related to your collection of lemurs o

If I understand things correctly, all of these marvelous new ways of keeping
track of data files requires indexing the files. And the index is a weak point
for a hacker break-in to find exactly what he is looking for on your computer.
I'd like to have the option of turning off _all_ indexing o

No, no, libraries are way different from My Documents etc. You're just
