Gadgets or Widgets are small programs that reside right on your computer desktop. They bring you information that is constantly updated, including the time, stock prices, weather, and current news. If you have Windows Vista or Mac OSX, you already have these useful little programs installed. If you use an older version of Windows, don’t fret, you too can have these dandy little items on your desktop.

Gadgets & Widgets for Everyone

This week I’ve found another outstanding FREE program. This one replaces the weak Start menu that Windows provides with a much better, more useful Start menu.

Remember that every free program that I recommend has been test to be free of spyware and spam.

Robust Start Menu Replacement
