First of all, thanks for the great affort in doing this converter!

Now my suggested improvement: When installing the sidebar files and registering them, it seems that not all needed entries are written to the registry. After running that point in the converter I still missed the control panel applet for the sidebar as well as an entry in the start menu and even desktop search didn't see the sidebar. I don't know if someone wants a shortcut to the sidebar in the start menu installed by the converter but here are the missing keys to enable the control panel applet (for x86):

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{37efd44d-ef8d-41b1-940d-96973a50e9e0}]
@="Windows Sidebar Properties"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{37efd44d-ef8d-41b1-940d-96973a50e9e0}]

Thanks for your post! I was also not aware of these registry keys. Will look into this later! :geek:
