Let me clarify my question. Is there a way to create a sidebar dock like the one that exists in Vista
On vista we were able to have an actual locked sidebar with the gadgets on the sidebar itself. It acted like a docking stations that can be made to always be on the top and never over an opened maximized window. With Windows 7, this sidebar dock no longer exists.
The only thing we can do with Windows 7 is to have our gadgets located anywhere on the window; there is no sidebar dock. They can still remain on top, but if you do so you can never maximize the current window you have opened as the gadgets will be directly on top in the way.

Found a hack and it works. I will post a screen shot of my computer a little later.
