A GADGET .GADGET file is an XML-based format developed by Microsoft Corporation for Windows .DESKTOP widgets. A GADGET is similar to a widget, in that it contains interactive elements for controlling various system functions like refreshing feeds and viewing news. Widgets can be used to customize the look of the Windows desktop environment. GADGET files contain code that can be written in JavaScript or Visual Basic Scripting that will control how the widget behaves when launched. They can also contain HTML and CSS code to control the appearance of the widget. GADGET files are used Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .GADGET) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .GADGET extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .GADGET file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .GADGET extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .GADGET extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .GADGET file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .GADGET file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .GADGET file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .GADGET file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .GADGET file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
