Adding new gadgets to your desktop
You can easily add gadgets to your Windows desktop. Not only can you select
new gadgets from among those that are automatically shipped with the Windows 7
operating system, but you can always download gadgets from an ever-expanding
online library. When you add new gadgets, Windows automatically displays them
sequentially down a single column on the far right of your desktop (although,
you can then move them anywhere you want on the desktop — see “Resizing
gadgets and repositioning them on the desktop” later in this part).
To add gadgets to the desktop from among those that are included with
Windows 7, follow these few steps:
1. Right-click the desktop and then choose Gadgets from the shortcut menu.
Windows 7 opens the Gadget Gallery window that displays all the gadgets
on your computer, similar to the one shown in Figure 1-4.
