How to Add Sidebars
The Windows Vista operating system was the first version of Windows to include the "sidebar" application functionality. This was a toolbar that resided on the side of the desktop and contained applications like clocks, stock tickers and other productivity tools. If the sidebar is not currently enabled, you can add it to your desktop in just a few seconds.
