Sidebar Auto-Hide

Gadget to hide/restore the Sidebar

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 by Gammeldansk | Discussion: Windows Sidebar

For any Windows Sidebar users, there's a new gadget available for download from the Microsoft Vista Sidebar site called AutoHide (posted by Steve). Unlike previous gadgets which just hid the sidebar and made it difficult to restore, this gadget will, once enabled and after a user set time delay, slide the entire sidebar off screen leaving an inobtrusive arrow, which when mouse-overed will slide the sidebar back in to view. Just thought I'd share.

OOps I forgot this. To disable, click gadget to change ON to OFF. Then open gadget and click OK. Thereafter to disable, just click OFF.

Thank you for the karma Wizard. Just noticed my karma changed from +9 to +6 he he. Actually it was always +3 but for some odd reason it recently kept showing as +9 - WC gremlins!
