I assume you installed WB 3.3. The skin you download has either a .WBA extensionor a .ZIP extension.
If it's .WBA just double-click in Explorer.
If it's .ZIP then you can rename it with a .WBA extenson and double-click it (.WBA files are really .ZIP files with a .WBA extension).

Or...
In your windows desktop display dialog (the one that allows you to pick your background or desktop appearance), you should have a Skins tab. Go to the Skins tab and press the Add button. Browser to the .WBA or .ZIP file and select/open it.

Now under the Skins tab, Click the "Windows and Buttons" dropdown box to select the skin you just installed. Then press the Apply button.

As for the icons, you need Icon Packager program to install them: https://www.stardock.com/products/iconpackager

Changing skins with WindowBlinds

Windows 98/ME/2000: A Skins tab has been added to Display Properties. Use the Windows and buttons dropdown to select a skin to apply. The WindowBlinds button will take you to the Advanced Configuration window and allow you to adjust additional settings (like which controls are skinned, performance optimizations, and excluded applications). The Advanced button lets you configure font and color settings for the current skin.

Windows XP: The Appearance tab in Display Properties has been enhanced to allow you to select and apply WindowBlinds skins.


For .ip files you need the IconPackager software...
