System Control(Vista Sidebar Gadget)

System control is a very simple, yet very useful, windows vista sidebar gadget. The basic premise is this, many system functions are difficult(or at least tedious) to get to. This gadget fixes that.

Each icon corresponds to a specific program or function. Clicking the lock toggles the color. When the icons have color, they can be accessed. The functions starting at the top left and going through the bottom right are:

Shutdown, Restart, Lock

Switch User, Task Manager, Sleep

Run, Log-Off, C-Prompt

At the bottom, the time is displayed. This is the enlarged view. The small view looks as follows:

This is for those who need lots of gadgets, and have limited space. There are plenty of themes, as well as the ability to move the icons around. This gadget should be very useful to anyone who either makes extensive use of the C-Prompt, or uses the task manager even a few times a day, thanks to Vista's Ctrl+Alt+Del menu.
