Have your mini-apps been inadvertently added to the Local Disc Users Public Desktop? If so, drag them or cut and paste them to your personal user desktop 3. I had a great deal of difficulty until I discovered this.

Do you mean the Windows Sidebar Gadgets? Then try this: Gadgets Plugin.

Hello,
I am new in dexpot and I gotta little problem there. I created three desktops. The First one for normal use with decreased number of icons. The Second desktop only for icons and the third one for mini-applications (I am using win. 7). But when I select mini-applications and add them on the third desktop, the mini-apps. are on the other desktops too and I have no idea what to do. Please help! Sorry for my English, hope you understand.
Thanks for help!
