if you are using XP with SP2....on some systems the file extensions are renamed *zip by XP. For window blind skins rename skin.zip to skin.wba then click on the *wba file to install. For desktopX themes, the file extension should be *dxtheme and again just click on it after renaming it.

right-click on the the zip file and choose rename. You'll be asked if you want to do this, click yes. After renaming the file, click on it and it will install automatically.

No problem After you download it, rename it. No need to unzip at all

Go into Control Panel/Folder Options/View and uncheck 'Hide Known File Extensions' or you'll be renaming that file forever.

If the WB skin included a wallpaper. Go to it's folder in WindowBlinds and you will find it there. If your skin is working, there is nothing to save. You can either delete the .wba file or back it up on another part of your disk in case you need to reinstall it.
