Hi, Recently I was looking for any Vista sidebar gadgets that would show MS CRM elements or list of data like Accounts, Contacts or Activites. I found an MSDN article ( Monitoring Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Queues with a Windows Sidebar Gadget ) on the same that explains creating a MS CRM Gadget for Vista sidebar and also a couple of gadgets on Vista gadget library and tried CRM Watchman , which is really good. http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=fc9cedb3-6339-4333-8a96-e5624bcafd74&bt=1&pl=1 Download the gadget by following the above link Enter CRM Server name or IP address and your credentials. You will see a list of all Activites in CRM, clicking on them takes you to the activity view in browser.
