The sidebar feature in Windows Vista is probably my favorite new feature to Vista over XP (just cause I use it way more than any other new feature!). But I kept on having problems accessing my gadget when I had a bunch of windows open, and I’m known to have numerous windows and tabs open at once.

So I figured out today an easy way to set the sidebar so that it will always show above all Windows, just follow these points and you will have it done in a minute;

  • Open control panel
  • Click appearance and personalization
  • Click windows sidebar properties
  • Check on sidebar is always on top of other windows
  • Click apply and OK
