Opening a "wba" extention

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm using WindowsXP and for the life of me, whatever skin I download and unzip with Winzip gives me the message that Windows cannot open the file with a wba extention. Does anyone have a cure for this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

Doris, do you have Windowblinds installed? If not, go to http://www.windowblinds.net/ download and install it then you'll have no problems using .wba files.

Sometimes it is useful/interesting to have a look what's inside a .wba file (e.g. fonts, wallpaper, etc) before installing it.

Try putting a shortcut to WinZip in your SendTo folder. Then you can right-click on a .wba file and select Send To > WinZip. The same trick will work for a lot of skin files which are really just renamed .zip files e.g. .obtheme, .ip, etc.

Indeed, as everybody said.
But I believe your problem is probably answered by davad70: you need to install (and preferably purchase) Windowblinds (http://www.windowblinds.net) in order to use Windowblinds skins (which al have the wba extension).
