March 19, 200816 yr Author - You install alky for applications (Reboot)- You merger the .reg file (double click it)- Then you copy the Windows Sidebar folder to program files- Copy regsvr32.exe from %WinDir%\system32 to %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar- Copy %ProgramFiles%\Alky for Applications\Libraries\manifest.xml to %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar and rename it regsvr32.exe.manifest- Right click on sbdrop.dll and wlsrvc.dll and choose Patch Vista Library...- Now drag and drop them into regsvr32.exe (the one you copied from system32)- Right click on sidebar.exe and choose Patch and Run Vista Executable...- Close the Windows Sidebar- Now add this to Run:"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe" /RegServer
