Sidebar gadgets as seen on the windows vista features site

If you look at this site (
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...e/sidebar.mspx ) you
see a picture of a desktop and then also the sidebar.
What I cant seem to figure out how to add to my sidebar is how they got the
recycle bin there, that box with 4 icons (notepad, paint, a deck of cards and
a post it block) or the email thingy with a number 9 on it.

Can anyone please help me with how to get these things?

if you have SIDE BAR running, right click on it and check for ADD Gadgets.
if sidebar is not running, then Start All Programs and click on Windows Sidebar.

yes i know that, but the recycle bin is not there to add, nor is the
collection of the four icons nor the email thingy.

I'm surprised that there isn't a gadget for Live messenger, I had one set up
in XP that worked really nice.
