Hello,

Since MS retired windows live gallery does anyone know where to find windows gadgets?

Is it possible to get any from here?

Thank you very much . I was searching for the Diskstat gadget & u gave it.

Thanks again.

M$ must have gave warning , so that at least those who wanted may have took backup of the gadgets they needed.

I think I have a backup of about 600-700 MB worth of Gadgets and modified files.. I am not for sure and I think I will have too hook up an old failing drive to get at them... I have a few myself I have found at deviantart.com and a few places around on the internet. I think too I have the Windows Sidebar installation package for Windows XP, with Styler and Skins.. I had deleted mine because I no longer used any of them except the few I have now and only in special instances.. They didn't fit my design schema for my system.. and even with modifying them they were still just sort of there.. so I deleted my whole library which I kept for such a thing.. Now that the site is completely gone.. This package may be useful to someone...

Will take some time and you may have to 'raise hell' to make sure I realize you want it and I should put that much into it.. ( literally thousands of files small but take forever.. and multiply that for a solid 700 MB on a single core system.. compressing and then uploading with 537 kb/s connection..and they are on another system, in a disconnected drive )..

It includes everything from clocks.. to real time network cam monitoring.. pretty thorough... I think I even have THL's old gadgets..

I'd love to have some but if it's a pita to get to them then don't worry about it.

One of the best gadgets that existed on the gallery was The Weather Channel (TWC) gadget

I install it on every machine that I fix up since it provides a small mini radar (100 miles range or so) for your area and a small forecast which is handy to most people
