    Freestart: Sorry to say I don't think any hack as succeeded yet in activating the 32-bit version of Sidebar in Windows 8 x64. But there aren't that many gadgets that fail to run in the 64-bit version. Alas, THE coolest gadget of all time, Nero's DiscCopy gadget — and a quite useful one for burners — did require Sidebar 32-bit. o_O
