And here you go, this tool consists of two parts: </P> <P><STRONG>The first part&nbsp;</STRONG>is a small <A href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/sidebargadgets.mspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/sidebargadgets.mspx">Windows Vista Gadget</A>. Gadgets are easy-to-use mini programs that give you information at a glance and provide easy access to frequently used tools. This gadget allows you to find any information inside of <A href="http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crm/default.mspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crm/default.mspx">Microsoft CRM</A>. </P> <P><STRONG>The second part </STRONG>is the main search application which allows you to find information from multiple entities in Microsoft CRM. In this version you can search for accounts, contacts and leads at once. However, I tried to make it more generic so that you are able to customize it just by configuring a xml file.</P> <P>Important: you have to install at least the search application, the Windows Vista Gadget is just a nice to have. But if you want to use the gadget, you have to install the search application first.</P> <P><A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/joris_kalz/pages/Vista-Microsoft-CRM-Search-Gadget.aspx" mce_href="http://blogs.msdn.com/joris_kalz/pages/Vista-Microsoft-CRM-Search-Gadget.aspx">Klick here to read on...</A></P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2147242" width="1" height="1">Microsoft CRMGadgetSidebarSearchIE Search ProviderCRM
