I have Windows XP SP2 and use IE v6.
I have downloaded the following files which ALL download as a .zip. Which of these am I suppose to convert from a .zip to their native format BEFORE I install?

BootSkin=.bootskin
CursorXP=.CurXPTheme
DesktopX Objects=.dxpack
DesktopX Themes=.dxtheme
IconPackager=.ip
LogonStudio=.logonxp
Theme Manager=.suite
WindowBlinds=.wba

Thank you.

lpworld,

You might try redownloading, but this time - right-click the download link > select "Save target as.." > in the "Save as" dialog box, use the "Save as type:" drop-down list to select "All Files" > then save file to say "My Documents".

This should keep the original file extension intact. Any ".zip" files found after download would then be unzipped to extract the skin, theme, or suite files.

Files containing one of the extension in your list can be double-clicked to install, provided that you have the appropriate programs installed on your computer.

If you do not have the appropriate programs, you can go to the "Software" tab at top of page, and use the links that take you to the relevant download pages.

Note - in case you are not familiar with the programs, some have both shareware (free but limited), and enhanced (purchasable full program) versions, and some are free programs (no official support, but a lot of help can be found here at WC).

I hope this helps.

Thank you. I did purchase the New ODNT. In addition I read
the .PDF manual. I appreciate the quick response.
