How To Open SideBar After You Have Closed It

So So SOO Confused!!
Closed the sidebar when I first got my laptop,
and now I wish for it back.

When I go to open it, it tells me "Windows Sidebar is managed by your system
administrator", I AM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR!!

Can someone PLEASE help me!!

The sidebar is in start/accessories. Rightclick the Windows Sidebar icon,
and 'run as administrator'. Then rightclicking the icon in the Notification
area has Properties, and you set the sidebar to open when Windows starts.

That doesn't work either =[ thanx anyway

Yana the sidebar.exe thingy thats in th program files under sidebar, i dont
actually have that.
Might that be my problem?

LouMac,

Since you do not have the sidebar.exe file in the "C:\Program
Files\Windows Sidebar" folder, then you should run a "sfc /scannow" (no
quotes) to see if it can restore that file for you. This tutorial will
show you how to.

Afterwards, if you still have problems, see if this can help.

Hope this helps,

=[ I GIVE UP!
Seems like nothing is going to work to get it back

Never mind eh
Thanks for all the help off people

Much appriciated!

Click the Start button and, in the search box, type: 'sidebar' without the
quotes and press Enter. If you get the same error message, go through the
procedure again only this time look at the top of the search list. Under
Programs you should see 'Windows Sidebar' Right click on this and, from the
drop down menu, click on 'run as administrator'
