The mouseover is in (on right) Miscellanious, colors (on left) menus, look for the ones that say (xp only) 
The min,max and close buttons will be in (on left) Window borders, titlebar buttons.
To add your info just highlite on the left the first icon called "skin name" and an the left you will see the info you can edit

the Min, Max and Close buttons are located on the left tree Window Borders/Title Bar Buttons.
To change the mose over color of the menu list. Open the Miscellaneous folder on the left tree, then clik on the Colors folder, now... on the right tree click on Menus and change the color on Highlighted Text (XP only) This will also change the background of the All Programs button.
To add your Name, email, special notes, etc. Click on Tools (on the top bar) and then Preferences. On the Author tab, you can change or add the skin information.

Ok, Ive been making scrollbar buttons in PhotoS with the Bevel/emboss/drop-shadow/etc... I noticed in PSP there is a buttonize tool for creating buttons...Would that be easier to use than bevel/emboss in PS... And is there a buttonize tool in PS like in PSP?

You should be able to edit your details by doing what I said, maybe you misunderstand me? You can also edit them in notepad or from the code view in SS. It's the first section either way. "Menu highlighed text (XP only)" should change the mouseove color. If you want an image there ad "Panel Item Background" You want mouseover titlebar buttons? You need to add another button with a "link to" the original button.

Ok, there are mouseover buttons in that skin too, check through all the buttons and make sure that every one has the image you made assigned to it. If not change the image or delete the button, whichever you prefer, might want to make a backup somewhere about now if you haven't already.

could you post your skin somewhere? or send it to me? I might be able to help more if I could see it. Just make sure you have the image assigned to the button. And keep in mind this is the hardest of the things to do.
