Brenda, try removing the .xml data files for a full reset. Gadget Settings -> Help -> Bottom instructions.

I having trouble with my Quick Launch gadget. I’ve tried restarting sidebar, re-booting computer & re-installing the gadget. I tried to delete before & after I re-installed it gut no response.

After re-installing it the 2 apps were still on the Quick launch & I still couldn’t delete them off gadget. I still can’t add anything to it either.

HandyAndy, We have looked more closely at this problem and it looks like something that is going to take more than just a quick patch. We have it noted in our list and will address the next time we do an upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi HandyAndy, Thanks for making us aware of this problem. We will do some testing to see if we can narrow down the source of this problem. We will post with what we come up with.

I actually love the gadget, I’m using it under Windows 7 64bit, however every so often when I add a shortcut to the gadget it will implode with all the icons appearing in 2 rows then lose the icons all together. Is this a compatibility issue with 64 bit operating systems?

Hyperanim8or, thanks for the suggestions. They are definitely on the list in terms of future upgrades, it’s just a matter of getting the gadget to be a bit more stable and then add these features in. We originally had to pull a few of these things for time when we launched but now we’re in a position to go back and add some of the features back in.

to be added to the above post. Perhaps make the title customizable.

This way when you mouse over the Icon it will show your inputted tag.

I like it so far under windows 7.

The only problem is there is no way to show text (i’m sure that defeats the purpose).

It would be nice to add a tag to an icon or at least add text to a separator.

I use 4 versions of a program (and they haven’t found it important enough to change the ICON in years), this makes it hard to keep track of which is which.

Until then, I’ll just have to create custome icons for them, but text would be nice even if it is only 1 letter.

Ernie, it’s probably the sidebar projecting it’s security onto the program. Not sure why or how to remove the warning, but odds are it has something to do with the execute command.

I have a very old program DEJAWINT.exe which works fine. I can start it from the Start bar, by clicking it or setting up an shortcut.
However when i put it on the gadget i get a security warning Unidentified program wants access to your computer.
This occurs every time ever after i have allowed it to run.
