Where Are The 3rd Party Vista Gadgets Installed?

February 28, 2010 · Filed Under Gadgets 

I recently installed the vista orb clock gadget, and wanted to modify the background image for the clock to a BMW logo
Where is the directory with all the installed gadgets?
Also, i tried modifying the original clock gadget, but i cannot modify the image. It says the access is denied when i try to change it. Is it possible to change the permissions (keeps showing up as denied)?

    When you Search your computer search for “Sidebar.” This will return at least two results, one being the Sidebar application itself and the other being a directory where the gadgets are saved.
    You should find what you are looking for in that folder.
