Guess I'll ask this question again in a different way. I noticed there are some skins that come with WB8 that you cannot delete, the delete text is grayed out, but there are others that say they can be deleted. Will deleting them cause any issues with WB8 functionality?

The only skins that you cannot delete are Aero, classic and modified aero as those are OS skins.

Only comodo, so i completely disabled it, rebooted, checked it was still disabled, then installed windowblinds
Apologies for the low quality, I tried using my screen grab software but that wouldnt record the desktop, as you can see the desktop disappears, and the taskbar cycles round partially appearing. right click options out of the open windows do nothing, windows key does nothing, if i close the windows on screen i am left with a black screen and the flashing taskbar, the only way to reboot is ctrl alt del, and select power. if i restart it boots up, as soon as I sign in it goes to desktop with the taskbar flashing and a black background, no icons, no windows function (if I open taskmanager, it opens behind the black screen) again only way to restart is ctr-alt-del, power route.
If I select windows aero, the system runs, but displays the oddbal start8 behaviour i mentioned
Once uninstalled, the system boots up fine and restarts quite happily.
System specs
i7 2600k, 4.2hgz
Radeon 7950 3gb
16gb 1333 ram
more hard drive space than I can shake a stick at

It looks like explorer is crashing out. Is there anything in your event log about that?
EDIT: I have this recollection that comodo will continue to cause crashes unless totally removed from a machine. That may well be what is going on here.

don't know, but seems logical, don't delete the skinstudio default skin either.

Photoshop CS6 has problems with WB8. The top tool bar gets wonky.
I have excluded PS CS6 from being skinned, as before.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Just tried those 3. Masters, I'll check others. I won't have time to check every skin.

Corporate, Sublime, Diamond, Win 8, Win 8 Metro. (Preinstalled.)
They do the same thing. I'm certain there are more, I have a lot of skins.

How do I add more wallpapers from other folders, like it was possible to do in wb7? (Have them spread out on different discs). Have tried to drag and drop, doesnt work.

confirmation.
COMODO ANTVIRUS even if disabled or exited WILL crash explorer over and over if windowblinds is installed.
uninstalled it, windowblinds running sweet as, even the explorer windows, and start 8 not displaying odd behaviour either.
now to find another anti-virus :/
any recomendations?

I rebooted just incase and was met with a black screen after login with the taskbar at the bottom flashing on and off and the system going no further, took a while to be able to force safe mode. uninstalled windowblinds beta and all is good again
is there any kind of a log file or info I can provide that may help with this?
Do you have any antivirus / anti malware software installed?
