My fault - can't get SideBar to run

Hi

I suspect that this problem is of my own making. Sidebar became usable only
from my Admin account and I tried altering security settings to try and get
it to run from my User account - ended up with:

When I run SideBar.exe from my either my User account or my Admin account
(only these 2 accounts active on my machine) I get 'Windows Sidebar is
managed by your system administrator'

What should the Sidebar.exe security settings be to allow it to be available
in both accounts?

Thanks Jane.

Strange though - when following the instructions on the link you gave, when
in the registry editor, neither of the nodes were in my registry. ie
....\Policies\Windows\Sidebar - there were no Windows folder in either of
the 2 suggested registry groups.

However, my Sidebar is working again after the initial stages of the link
instructions.
