Can't Get Skins Downloads

from WinCustomize Forums
I am clicking on the Download link for the skins I want in WinXP Skins. The status bar goes zipping very quickly, but when I check inside the Windowblinds folder or in the Desktop Appearance, the skins are not there. Is there something wrong with the downloads?
Can someone help?

Thanks

they aren't opening, you probably unclicked always ask before downloading this and have it on open. right click on the link and go to save target as.

Open Windows Explorer and goto: Tools / Folder options / File Types. Scroll down to wbload document, highlight it and click edit. Check "confirm open after download" and OK your way out. You should now get the familar download box when you click on the dl link.

This should work assuming you're on Windows

Thank you so much, Bill. Now it is working okay. However, before I wasn't having any problems at all and it didn't ask me to confirm when I downloaded...it just downloaded and installed it. I think it might be because I deleted something called Update Class from my Objects in IE 6.0 (as per the instructions of MS for problems with downloading and installing updates from the MS site). Anyway, it appears that since I deleted that, Windowblinds doesn't automatically install. But at least now it does, I just have to confirm the open/save options when downloading.
