I've installed a few new gadgets to my gadgets directory. They all have foldername.gadget, but the sidebar will not show me anything other than the default 11. A few of these gadgets have been downloaded from the "Get more gadgets online" link.
What am I doing wrong here A few of the gadgets I've tried have "File Folder" listed under type, even though they end in .gadget as the folder name. Another file there is calculator which is listed as a "Windows Gadget" under type, yet sidebar finds none of them.
Sidebar can't find new gadgets?

Did you install them into the right directory
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppLocal\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\
Do they all have a correct gadget.xml file
