either use Vista side bar if you got Vista, or Google Desktop http://desktop.google.com/ ;) very easy to add gadgets to any of these...
adding: just be careful if you choose the Google solution. You obviously don't need the file indexing feature that comes with it if you're in Vista; and if you're in XP, Windows Desktop search is a better option anyway.

may be useful in this thread, for those who's like to make their own sidebars/toolbars and gadgets: "Samurize" found here:

I haven't used it for a while but I can say it's a brilliant utility, almost endless possibilities.

I use he weatherbug one, one called Multimeter shows both cores, and memory usage, and i use the picture one which goes through all my pictures i have, and i also use a shotcut thing called app launcher where i put all my shortcuts for games trash bin ect so my desktop will be empty and clean
I got that app launcher and love it so far. I like having the clean desktop too. Thanks
