The M$ RSS Gadget uses the IE RSS Subscription feature, so if you want to edit the sites it's pulling from launch the bloated IE7 and modify the feeds it's downloading.

Hopefully that helps....


It helped yesterday. This morning, the feed was stale even though I set it to a 15 minute update cycle. Open IE 7, click the feed, and I'm told "Internet Explorer cannot update password protected feeds". So much for the usefulness of that.

Also as a mini rant, moving and organizing gadgets has to be one of the most frustrating things I've seen. So when the gadget is on the sidebar, I can't make it taller to see more stories. When I detach it from the sidebar, it grows, but still no size control. Then, if I want the larger version, but still on the right edge of the screen, the gadget bar sucks it back in with no warning. Took me about 5 times of messing with it to find the exact edge of where it sucks in gadgets. I don't want the bar on the right, and there seems to be no way to just turn off the bar but have gadgets on the desktop.
