Was ist eine GADGET-Datei?
A GADGET file is a small program that runs within the Windows Vista or Windows 7 sidebar. It stores several web-based files in a Zip archive format and may include .HTML, .CSS, .JS files, as well as other web files.

The default Windows gadgets are installed to the following directories:

Formerly, gadgets could be downloaded from the Windows Live Gallery, but Microsoft discontinued the gallery service.
