to just hide the sidebar you can right-click a blank spot on sidebar and
select "close sidebar". hitting the sidebar notification icon at bottom of
screen or hitting WindowsKey+spacebar will bring it back. with this
technique the sidebar and any gadgets are still running using cpu and
memory.

to quit it completely right-click the sidebar notification icon at bottom of
screen and selecting "exit". after this to restart it you will have to start
the program from the "assessories" program list.

i have found the "wheather" gadget the only usefull thing on the sidebar for
me, but then i live in minnesota. clicking the "+" button will bring up the
starting selection of "gadgets", 13 of them on my sony. if you pull the
whether gadget off the sidebar it expands to tell the forcast. i exit the
sidebar after checking wheather so as not waste cpu and memory.
