I should have mentioned that I have tried this already. This is actually the
default action when I right click it "Open With...". When I do this, it only
brings the sidebar into focus, without installing the new gadget. When I try
to open it again it just asks me to define the default application again.
Thank you for the reply and help though, I do appreciate it.
