Help with Bootskin

June 17, 2005 5:35 AM from

Hi, I have just got Bootskin, and I have been browsing the bootskin downloads. My problem is that every time I download one and unzip it, all I get are 2 bitmap images and a configuration settings file that bootskin won't see when I try to import it....what am I supposed to do to install the bootskins?

change the file extension from bootskina.zip to bootskina.bootskin. Then click on the file and it will self install into the bootskin directory.

After download, right click on .zip, select rename, hit right arrow key, backspace out zip, type bootskin hit enter, then double click it to install.

First you need to make sure you can see the file extensions; they are hidden by default. Click on Start>My Computer>Tools>View and uncheck Hide Extensions for Known File Types.

You will then be able to see the file extensions and can follow NT's instructions. Hint: Right-click on the file and choose Rename in the context menu that pops up.

Thanx, I googled it and figured out that I had to go into folder options and untick the box that says 'hide known file extensions' before I could rename it
