Gadgets disappear

Guest

I have a couple of gadgets installed on my desktop (calendar and sticky
notes). When I have other programs running and click on the "Show Desktop"
icon on the taskbar, the desktop comes up but the gadgets disappear.

(Just to make matters more odd, if I then click on the taskbar icon for a
running program and go back to that program, then click on the taskbar again
for that same running program, I go back to the desktop and the gadgets are
there. They only disappear when I click on the "Show Desktop" icon.)

Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas on how to make the "Show
Desktop" icon show the desktop without the gadgets disappearing?

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for your reply. I had forgotten there's an icon for it as I hide
most of mine to keep the taskbar free of clutter. You're right that does
work.

However, it doesn't make a lot of sense that the gadgets would disappear in
the first place. I'd like to hear from a MS support person on the logic
behind that!!

Well, that's the kindest way to look at it ;) Otherwise it seems like
another case of Microsoft's infamous "it's not a bug -- it's a feature"
philosophy!!
