sscsr1 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I was just wondering if anyone used the desktop gadgets in win 7. I decided to look for some and got the page that M$ dosent supprot them anymore. I think I might like to play around with some but am kind of leery of sites that I am unfamilier with so any suggestiong of trusted sites would be appreciated.

stylemessiah Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Microsoft issued a fixit (hotfix) quite a while back to disable desktop gadgets as they found a huge security issue with them, rather than even try and fix it, they issued the fixit (hotfix) to completely disable gadgets Not worth the risk to run gadgets just to have something pretty you can usually only see when on the desktop anyways. The fixit (hotfix) is available here: http://support.micro....com/kb/2719662 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sscsr1 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I did not know about the hotfix. And thanks for the links as well. I still might play a little. I just have a clock right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
