Enable windows sidebar

[markj1993]

Hi,

I have recently done a system recovery to try and fix my bluray playback issue, but have now forgot how to enable the sidebar in registry editor when i get the message 'windows sidebar is managed by your system administrator'.

Any help?

Thanks, Mark

In an older thread I found the following:

In the registry go to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows\Sidebar
Delete the value "TurnOffSidebar"
Close registry.

Start sidebar: START -> execute -> sidebar -> ENTER

However I could not find the value in my registry although the sidebar works fine and I can switch it on and off...
