Thank you very much Ramesh, but when i type in gpedit.msc the search does
not get any results. Also i am not on a network, it is my personal computer
and there are no other accounts on the computer apart from mine. I am using
Vista Home Premium.

Hi Mimi, If you're on a network, the domain admin may have disabled the Sidebar via GPO, and there is no option except to contact them for help.
