How To Open SideBar After You Have Closed It

[LouMac]

So So SOO Confused!!
Closed the sidebar when I first got my laptop,
and now I wish for it back.

When I go to open it, it tells me "Windows Sidebar is managed by your system
administrator", I AM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR!!

Can someone PLEASE help me!!

The sidebar is in start/accessories. Rightclick the Windows Sidebar icon,
and 'run as administrator'. Then rightclicking the icon in the Notification
area has Properties, and you set the sidebar to open when Windows starts.

Click the Start button and, in the search box, type: 'sidebar' without the
quotes and press Enter. If you get the same error message, go through the
procedure again only this time look at the top of the search list. Under
Programs you should see 'Windows Sidebar' Right click on this and, from the
drop down menu, click on 'run as administrator'
