Have you come across the problem where some of the Gadgets that you added to the Sidebar/Desktop are not displayed correctly?

The settings button next to the gadget does not work, but the x to close does.

3. Similarly, run these commands:
You should see the DllRegisterServer in <filename> succeeded message for each command executed.
4. Logoff and login back to your user account and see if the Gadgets display correctly.
