How to delete a windowblind so I can reinstall it?
Saturday, September 3, 2005 by Shortcake83 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Let me see if I can explain this. I was using Longhorn 5203 and decided to try something in photoshop to change the look of the top .bmp file. I did not like the results so I decided to delete Longhorn 5203 and reinstall it so I could get the original .bmp file back. I have reinstalled Longhorn 5203 and it does not show up in my appearance list. If I look in exployer, I see Longhorn 5203 listed and I try to delete it there and it says it is being used by another program and I cannot delete the folder. Also, when I reinstall the WB it puts it in a folder named "L" and it does not show up in the list. How can I remove all these unused folders and reinstall Longhorn 5203 so I can use it? Thanks

Thanks Lantec. I finally figured out how to do it. I followed directions I found in another thread to remove windowblinds completely and then reinstalled it and the old WB were gone. Then, I just added Longhorn 5203 back and it is now there and working. Thanks

In the appearance tab change to any other blind (not Longhorn 5203) and exit the display properties. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Stardock\object desktop\windowblinds directory and delete the entire Longhorn 5203 directory and any others that are empty windowblind directories. If it returns a message saying it's in use you may have to reboot. Then download the wba file from here and double click on it or choose run when you download it.
