Install the default weather gadget on Windows 7

Question

I have uninstalled the default weather gadget by accident (right-click any gadget and press "uninstall").

Now I want to get it back (the 3rd party gadgets don't seem as attractive as the standard one), but I don't know how.

Unfortunately, this folder C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets only contains the 3rd-party gadgets.

I was able to find it here (on another system) C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\Weather.Gadget, so I copied them to the same directory on my machine, hoping it would do the trick.

It didn't, because the gadget doesn't show up in the list.

Can someone suggest a way to install the default weather gadget back?

Solution

1. Click on start.
2. Type in "Restore Gadgets" in the start box.
3. Click on "Restore desktop gadgets installed with Windows".
