I do not uninstall any fonts, I leave them behind dun worry OK here is the down low on the 3 sidebars, I never payed much attention to this before... If I empty the sidebar and close all the gadgets and restart the sidebar I have one instance of sidebar.exe Then I open up one gadget I get a second sidebar.exe If I open more than 3 gadgets a third sidebar.exe pops up in my tasmgr So my conclusion is its normal I think its the sidebar running with one of its many parametes example for the CPU gadget it might be running sidebar.exe /detectMem Other Parameters: sidebar.exe /autoRun /AX /CPL /detectMem /showgadgets /uninstallgadgets /RegServer /UnregServer
