Two vista questions

[randym431]

Where are the folders for the sidebar apps. That is, if you add some of your own apps, where are the folders created? I hunted around but couldnt find them. When you uninstall an sidebar app, i wanted to see if the folder is also removed?

Then on the MY DOCs folder. Is there a way to "display it on the desktop" option, like in xp. If you right clicked in xp, it had an option "display on desktop". Vista removed that option. Other than creating a shortcut, I wondered if I was missing this option of if its to be found somewhere else?

And while I'm here, is there a way to change the display settings in windows explorer? Like, when you bring it up, for it to list your drives as default view? (C:, D:, E: and so on)

there is no folder created, the side bar app is just a small file.

Theres a "windows sidebar" in program files...I'd imagine its all in there.

Something wrong with a shortcut? Its exactly the same thing.

Should be under layout options.
