In my June 2008 TechNet Magazine article I introduced the Elevation Gadget. This Windows Sidebar Gadget functioned as drag and drop target to elevate programs, scripts, etc. Version 2 sports an updated look and can now be enlarged (enlarges when undocked on Windows Vista, enlarges via the Size control on Windows 7). However, the biggest change is the addition of a command box. Below are a few screen shots.
