Gadgets don't appear on boot. I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del and end the sidebar process to make it work. How to fix?

The gadgets appear on half of my boots. I've found a consistent temporary fix, but it gets tiresome after a while. When the gadgets don't appear, I enter the task manager and end the 'sidebar.exe'. After that I right click the desktop, click on gadgets and they boot up.

Does anyone have a fix for this, so they always boot up with Windows?

Take a look in MSCONFIG and see if it's enabled in startup....

It doesn't seem to be listed in MSCONFIG and I'm not sure how to add it..

Can you help walk me through the process?
