    Windows 11 widgets; how to remove these annoying news feed windows in the Widgets panel?


    When hovering over or clicking on the Widgets shortcut the panel appears with ~50 of these stupid little windows all showing news feeds.I don't mind the weather and a very few other widgets that show something useful but all of these news panels are pointless, annoying, and really leaning me more towards going back to Windows 10 where I can have real Live Tiles again without this excess junk.How can we really customize this panel and remove all these unwanted news panels?I have closed them with the upper-right 'X' which leaves them blank until the next time the panel opens.I have chosen to 'Hi

    new forum banner widget

    Some really cool widgetie stuff !!

    Sorry, Pol, couldn't resist. Maybe a tie in to the RSS feed or something?
    Widgets are kind of neat, but I shut off the widget stuff in Vista as I have no use for it.

    Maybe you need to recreate the web feed again in the native browser, e.g. the BBC News feed in the following way.



    • select Menu > Web > Options > Go to > Web feeds
    • select Options > Web feed options > New feed
    • Set Title = BBC News, Address =
      http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml
      , Automatic updates = (desired update interval)
    After creating the above web feed, it should be found with name "BBC News" in the Add Content widget list.



    If you still cannot find the web feed, it might be that the web feed is already added to the home screen, in that case you cannot see or select it from the list. Try removing the home screen widgets and check if the web feed widget appears in the list after
    that. Try also creating the feed with another name, in case the old "BBC News" widget name is still in use (even though not visible on the home screen).

    Widgets being used as new advertising platform

    Now that both Mac OS X and Windows Vista have widgets, or cool little gadgets you can spread around your desktop, ad companies have decided to try their hand at widgets. These ad-widgets would probably be put into a widget that actually does something, such as check facebook/myspace/sports statistics. Whether or not these advertisements would actually do anything would be hard to determine, considering tracking these widgets would be extremely illegal.
