Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010
When I set up Windows seven Enterprise RTM on my workstation, the first thing I seen will be the Stocks gadget was gone. Initially, I believed almost certainly they removed it in the Enterprise edition. However, it’s not the case,
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, they eliminated the Stocks gadget from all editions of Windows 7.
According to a thread in social answers at Microsoft.com, here could be the reason why they taken out it.
“Dow jones, who may be the provider of the “Dow Jones Industrial Average” quote feed to the Win seven in-box stock gadget, wants a EULA agreement to be shown and accepted for any user before they can see the data from their feed in the stock gadget.
While investigating further …, we came to know that the total number of DJ indices that we would have to block is close to 3100, and not 1 as we had thought earlier. This has an impact on the design. Specifically,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus, the solution that we were considering earlier of using the configuration file (config.xml) becomes risky, and may not suffice. ”
Thus the following was implemented:
“- remove stocks gadget on fresh install on Win 7
- remove stocks gadget when upgrading to Win seven from Vista
* remove stocks gadget code from %program files%/windows sidebar/gadgets
* remove gadget from settings.ini, so that if it was present on the desktop befor upgrade then it must not show up
* stock gadget must not show up on the gadget ############## after upgrade
- remove MSN money query framework in WLSrvc.dll,
Office 2010 Pro, so that any gadget was using this earlier (in vista,
Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, or earlier Win seven builds) is not able to use the same after this change.”
It seems like they are serious about removing this particular gadget. If you want the stock gadget, you have to install 3rd party gadgets. I tried several ones from the online ##############. I finally settled on this gadget called “Stocks3“. It does not look as good as the original one, but it’s more flexible. I am keeping it for now until I find a better one.
