No going to mince words here...
Do not use Gadgets. I habitually disable the Gadget Platform for any of my Win7 clients. Uninstalling them is all well & good but, the platform must be disabled. Here is how:
> Programs & Features > Turn Windows Features On/Off
Look down the list to find Windows Gadget Platform
And, BTW, saying, "I have been using Gadgets & (so far) everything has been fine" is not a valid reason to continue using Gadgets.
The (old) notice to about this was to be taken seriously.
Cheers,
Drew
