Windows 7, Gadgets and UAC

If you are a beta tester of Windows 7 (like me) and you have turned off UAC, then you might have noticed that your gadgets are not longer working. Today I found a nice tip on how to fix this problem:
  1. Open Registry Editor
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Settings
  3. Create a new dword Value called AllowElevatedProcess
  4. Set the value to 1
  5. Close the registry editor
Voila they are back again.
