Recently I bought a Sony Vaio laptop that runs Microsoft Windows Vista. When I try to open the Vista sidebar I get an error window saying that “Windows Sidebar is managed by your system administrator”. Even when I tried to run the sidebar.exe (that launches the sidebar) as administrator, I was still getting the same error message. Googling around, I found the fix, which is very simple and requires basic skills of registry editing.

1. Click Start, type regedit.exe in the search field and press ENTER
2. Navigate to the following path:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \
   CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Windows \ Sidebar
   

3. In the right-pane, delete the value named TurnOffSidebar
4. Repeat the same in the following path (if there is a sidebar value there):

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \
   CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Windows \ Sidebar

5. Exit Registry Editor

Finally Windows Vista sidebar is up and running as it should from the very beginning!

Justsayhi is for many users a dating site. But if you visit justsayhi.com/bb you will find a great and funny resource for blog widgets and quizzes for geeks. You can try out to see how many html elements can you type in five minutes or how many css properties you can type in 7 minutes. If you do not like web development you can test how much do you know about the internet or find out how much electricity does yout body produce.

Apart from the quizzes there are several quality badges to stick on your blog (most of them funny, like “the blogger is coffee addicted”) or find out how many germs live in your keyboard or whether you are an apple addicted or not! Geek quiz is nice too! There is also some crazy stuff there, like “take this quiz to find out your possibilities of surviving in a zombie apocalypse”!
The design of the site and its chicklets is cool and thats makes it different from such sites for me. I tend not to review web sites except when they are special or original and justsayhi is! Quizzes use AJAX which makes the pages fast-responding and professional-looking.

The badges you get after completing a quiz looks like this one below (and yeah the code given for sticking them on your blog validates as XHTML 1.0 transitional).
