lost my sidebar

After install, i clicked on the windows sidebar and it dissapeared. since then i havent been able to find it, it is not minimised, and when i turn it on in controll panell it doesnt appear. however if i increase my screen resolution to max i can see the gadgets down the bottom right hand corner not attached to the sidebar, when i attach them to the side bar they dissapear totaly.
how do i get it back the way it was? -- Thanks For Coming

Right click your Taskbar > click Task Manager > Process (tab) > select the "sidebar.exe" process > click End Process. Restart the system, open Control Panel > launch Sidebar. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

sorry, I should have read your full post before responding. I don't know where my mind is at today. try right-clicking the sidebar icon in the system tray, and see if you can change the options there. try setting it to be "always on top of other windows".
