Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar

The Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar component contains settings for displaying gadgets in a bar that can be located on the right or left edges of the screen. A user can add a gadget to Sidebar, by opening the Gadget Picker and selecting from a series of installed gadgets. If the user double-clicks the gadget, it is automatically added to the bar.

Gadgets one through three are pre-set by Microsoft. Corporations may replace these gadgets, or set them to false to hide them.
