    ^Same

    But when I did have it up I had a lot of gaming based apps such as my BF2142 stats, my processor/ram useage, I think I had a little piano, I had a buddy list for wc3 thing up, I think I had an app that would check if my fav servers were up in BF2142 as well.

    Yahoo! widgets <----- like sidebar gadget, with better graphics, IMO
    rainlendar <--------put a calendar on your desktop, plus a to-do list function
    winFlog extreme <-------middle-click to activate flip-3D
    thumbnail resize <------makes your taskbar preview box bigger
    logon studio <-----change your logon background

    I know all these, but I don't use all of them.
