1. Copy the Windows Sidebar folder from c:\Program Files on a Vista x64 SP1 installation to your Win2k8 install.
2. From an administrator console run:
   regsvr32 sbdrop.dll
   regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll
3. From that same console run:
   sidebar /RegServer
4. Move the Sidebar registry information from a working Vista SP1 x64 install.  You can find it at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/SideBar.

To specify the .gif file that you want to use for the icon that represents Adobe PDF documents that are stored in Windows SharePoint Services document libraries, follow these steps:

1. Copy the .gif file that you want to use for the icon to the following folder on the server: Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Template\Images

2. Edit the Docicon.xml file to include the .pdf file name extension. To do so:

a.  Start Notepad, and then open the Docicon.xml file. The Docicon.xml file is located in one of the following folders on the server:

Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\60\Template\Xml
Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\Template\Xml

b.  In the <ByExtension> section of the Docicon.xml file, add an entry for the .pdf file name extension. To do so, add the following line, where NameofIconFile is the name of the .gif file:

<Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”NameofIconFile.gif”/>

For example, if the name of the .gif file is MyPicture.gif, add the following line:

<Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”MyPicture.gif”/>

c.  On the File menu, click Save, and then exit Notepad.   

3. Restart Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). To do so:

a.  Click Start, and then click Run.

b.  In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK. 

c.  At the command prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER: iisreset 

d.  Type exit, and then press ENTER to exit Command Prompt.  

I’ve been trying to figure out since yesterday why Microsoft’s decision to make the Sysinternals’ body of utilities available by browsing the folder where they are stored on their website was a big deal. I went to http://live.sysinternals.com where the utilities are now available and the best it felt was clunky. No wonder reporting on this “new” availability is slim. Ed Bott mentions it here

It just dawned on me … I can make it a network place in Windows Explorer and I have a folder with all of those utilities ready to use and the latest version to boot. Here’s how …

Windows Vista

In Windows Explorer, just right click on Computer and then Add a Network Location. When the Wizard Comes up use http://live.sysinternals.com and complete. Now there is an entry under the Network node in Explorer.

Windows XP


The steps are a bit different in XP ….

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Network and Internet Connections.
2. Under See Also, click My Network Places.
3. Click Add a network place. The Add Network Place Wizard starts.
4. Click Next to continue.
5. Click Choose another network location, and then click Next.
6. In the Internet or network address box, type the name of the network share that you want to use. ( \\live.sysinternals.com\tools)
7. Click Next.
8. In the Type a name for this network place box, type the name that you want, and then click Next.
9. Click Finish. 

Default security settings don’t allow the html help files to run off this folder unless you make it trusted. The choice is yours and up to you to figure out how to do it.

My next step will be to publish this via group policy so that it is available with my admin login on every machine in the place.
