Windows Blinds 6 Skin Directory
Sunday, October 7, 2007 by Kurmiic | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Where does windowblinds copy the skin files now (it used to be the windowblinds folder) - and another thing is that not all file copy animations work with it now

It's the required spot for Vista certification I think. And it does make a good amount of sense. Programs are in Programs, user data is stored in the Documents and settings. And in all users so everyone in Vista can access all the data (skins). You can move it if you want to change the registry The location where WB looks for skins is set by two registry keys. They must be set to the same directory.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed\Path
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed\Path
If you want to put your skins elsewhere then you can change those keys and copy ALL of the directories off the current WB skin directory to that directory.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed\Path
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed\Path
