    @Zaz...how did you get to cluster your pinned programs on your task bar to the dock on the side?

    that does not provide any solution, it just tell me to move all my gadget on to the right hand side, I am sure anyone with half a brain would have already done that...

    It says the gadgets will snap to the edge, as well as to each other. What more do you want?

    On my Dell with Vista I got an ugly, semi transparent, sidebar which I've tried to get rid of several times, but I never found out how. I guess if you want that, the "solution" is to photoshop one in your wallpaper, then use the snap feature in Win7.

    Edit: Now I read that if you have multiple screens the snap feature doesn't work on each screens edge. If that is your case I guess that "fix" was useless.

    I downloaded several hundred (literally, 400 I think) way back earlier this year, since then I've pretty much just been keeping up-to-date with them). Definitely some of my favourite walls of all time.

    Enjoy the orb, I think it's a welcome change :)

    It was the default wallpaper for my Z61t when I ordered the recovery discs. I'm assuming you can get it from Lenovo still but it's the XP backgrounds.

    I think the name 'safari' was a mistake, too. Not one of Apples better marketing decisions and probably doomed from the start because of it. Terribad name. Terribad product.

    I am the first person to use it.

    No one else is allowed to use it without my permission. :p

    I took the time to download all of the Lenovo blue world maps from that site them to find out which fit my screen the best. It is worth the effort.

    After giving up on searching I stumbled upon something. Google Desktop also supports Win7.

    If you want to try it out you find it here. I'm not sure if regular gadgets are supported (doubt it) or if it only supports gadgets designed specifically for Google Desktop.

    Thanks, but no! I don't like Safari and I have never been a big fan of Firefox. But I think 3 browsers on a single machine is enough - don't you think? Of the three, Opera gets used the least (at least at the moment).
