downloaded a skin and want to go back to XP

Friday, March 19, 2004 by CarolF | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I don't know if I am stating this right, but I downloaded an item (I have wincustomize browser and cursor xp plus) on XP home. I have silver metal looking file folders all over the place. I want to go back to default but cannot figure out how to do it. I've tried properties, default settings, file options, default. I went to add remove but can't find anything that will change them back. Obviously, I don't know what I am doing and hope someone can help me out of this Carol

First, what did you download, and did this happen after you installed whatever you downloaded?

Just to make sure: You DO NOT have IconPackager right?

Wait, I don't get it. You have Wincust browser and Cursor XP and you ICONS changed?  How can this be? You must have Icon Packager installed. It's the only way you'll get your icons changed. Anyway, find and open Icon Packager (you have it for sure), and "Restore all icons" from the Tools menu.  If you uninstalled Icon Packager since you applied the new icons, I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall Icon Packager in order to restore the default XP icons.

I just checked and I did have iconpackager but it is expired!!!! I do things and then forget what I did. That seems to be the case here. I would bet I did it in Icon. My internet explorer is silver metal looking. All the files in windows explorer are silver metal. Hopefully I can get to the tools menu without having to buy the product.

I get the message that the packager is expired and do I want to revert back the icons. I say yes, but nothing happens. Perhaps I should uninstall and reinstall the trial? Is that an option?

Just uninstall the trial, then reboot.
