Tutorial: Remove Windows sidebar\gadgets side toolbar... in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Out of all the gadget\widget systems, I like and use windows gadgets. Ive always hated the stupid side toolbar that appears over a gadget when you move the mouse on top of them. It ruins the look of the gadget IMO, and all the functions of the toolbar can be accessed when right clicking or dragging a gadget. Here, this thing...
