How to quit Desktop Gadgets in Windows 7?







I just got Windows 7 and it is awesome, but I just can't get rid of the gadgets on the desktop with out just deleting them one by one. How can I just quit the program?


Answer
In Win7, the gadgets aren't their own program like in Vista. You'd have to close them out 1 by 1.

I've added some gadgets like Pandora and Weather, but I'm not sure if they are Desktop Gadgets or SideShow Gadgets. I was looking at adding some other "gadgets", but I'm not sure the difference between the 2. Any insight? Thanks!


Answer
Windows Desktop Gadgets are a sort of mini-applications which are based on CSS, Script and HTML. These Gadgets are used to display information like CPU, RAM usage, system properties, RSS feeds or to launch and control applications. You can also use gadgets to display a picture slide show or view continuously updated headlines.

A Windows SideShow Gadget is one written by programming against the Windows SideShow Platform API.
