File Association

What programme does the .gadget extension need to be associated with to get it to add to the Windows Sidebar

I've managed to accidently associate .gadget with WinRar by doing an open with to work out why one of mine wasn't installing correctly, and now can't find how to reset it. Associating it with sidebar.exe doesn't work, and Windows' automated jobbie doesn't know what a .gadget is.

    Sorted it

    In regedit32 find the key,

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.gadget\OpenWithList

    Delete everything under OpenWithList,

    and the whole of UserChoice including the UserChoice key itself.

    and it works again :)

    That doesn't work, all it does is open the sidebar again (the sidebar is closed, but not exited)

    if it makes any different this is on RC1

  • Namza

    Windows Sidebar: %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe

    Ironically, if you look it up on the web it reports " Windows does not recognize this file type."
