Desktop gadgets
Because we want to focus on the exciting possibilities of the newest
version of Windows, the Windows website no longer hosts the gadget
gallery.

Gadgets installed from untrusted sources can harm your computer and
can access your computer's files, show you objectionable content, or
change their behavior at any time. If you are concerned about the
safety of gadgets you’ve downloaded in the past, you can learn more
about gadgets and steps you can take to protect your PC.
