Cool Things For Linux: gDesklets
Posted on May 14, 2007, under Operating Systems, Software.
No this will not become a Linux blog, but there are just so many cool things for the Linux desktop that I have been discovering lately. Today a buddy at work pointed me int the direction of gDesklets. A little application that creates little widgets for your desktop, much like the sidebar in Windows Vista. There site does not have as many desklets on it as you can install with the manager in Ubuntu, but they have a few.
The application does not seem as memory intensive as some of the other desktop widget applications I have used, like Konfabulator, now Yahoo Widgets, or the Windows sidebar. The project still seems young, but seems like there are more Widgets out there to download. I am still hunting for a great repository.

I have recently installed Vista. I want to turn the cache thumbnails off. When I look at the View tab in the folders option it does not have the check box for “Turn thumbnails cache off.”
I and another person work as website administrators for the NHWPCA.org website. When we each had XP we were able to turn the thumbnails cache off and both upload web content to the site.
Now that I have Vista, when I go onto the site the other person can’t visit afterwards because it has a thumbs.db error. I don’t know where to turn off the thumbs DB on Vista.
Any help would be appreciated.
