Enable Gadgets in Server 2008

What "gadgets" are you looking for in particular?

The prime inspiration for this is that my new UPS from Cyberpower includes a Gatdget for monitoring the power. But while I'm add it, once enabled, I'd like to include Gadgets for weather, cpu and ram utilization, calendar, etc., you know, the "usual stuff."

It's a server 2008, yes, but it's also a Terminal Server, and the users (mainly me) who use it in "desktop mode" are looking for that comfy desktop experience.

Sorry man, my hard drive starting making these beautiful screeching noises yesterday and then decided to BSOD and then "Poof" all my stuff went up in smoke. I had to get another HDD and then reimage from scratch and am just getting all my apps and back on the domain....I didnt forget about you,.

Check out this site. I think I found what you are looking for! :) If you are running 2008 R2 then use this. Otherwsie you will do the same thing except use the Vista disk.
