sidebar help

My windows vista keeps saying that I need admin privileges to open my sidebar
program. If I am the only one running my computer, why, if I try to open
sidebar, do I get the message saying, WINDOWS SIDEBAR IS MANAGED BY YOUR
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR?
iN MY uac, EVEN THOUGH MY uac is off, I am listed as the administrator.
But I still can not activate my sidebar. Anyone know the solution?

I tried turning the UAC on. No effect. Any ideas?

This has to do with the "Turn off Windows Side bar" Policy setting.

Error "Windows Sidebar is managed by your system administrator" when you try
to open the Windows Sidebar:
