Try editing the XML and HTML files of the gadget - they should be in the Windows\Sidebar directory and it should be quite simple to edit :o)

No ?
Me yes (easy thing) Did you have UAC enable ? may be it him you block you to make change on this file ?

Folder=c:%5cEXEMPLE

Good luck

Its still an active bug, assigned to a dev. I assume that he will fix the bug and allow you to enter your own directories again - but you know what happens when I "assume"... Until the fix is coded, checked in, and built, there's always the chance that the bug will get punted.
If you want to add your influence toward getting your desired outcome for this bug, please feel free to file it in the beta bug db and get folks to vote for it.

It appears to link to here: %SystemRoot%\system32\mshta.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\feedback.hta according to properties of the shortcut.

Just checked and by clicking on feedback.hta in the system32 folder, the feedback page opens correctly. So send feedback.hta as a shortcut to the desktop.
