5308: installing gadgets?

V

Vista Tester

Any idea how to install gadgets? I downloaded a few from the Microsoft
Gadgets page and now I've got a zip file in my Documents directory
containing a .js file and an .xml file.

Are these supposed to be self-installing?

Thx Andre. Just anywhere in the AppData folder?

Andre Da Costa said:
If they give you a .gadget file, it should install automatically. If it
gives you a .zip file - you will have to extract it to to AppData folder
in your profile.

Thanks to Brandon Leblanc of Longhorn Blogs and MSTech Today for the tip.
