double click the .desktop file, it should auto load and install in the correct place. it belongs in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX\Themes

I cant open .desktop, because its a blank file which which means I dont have the right program or watever I need to open it.

You need the right program to download most of the goodies on this site. You just can't download and try to install anything!

If you look in each gallery, at the top in the description you will find a link to the program needed. or you can just click the software tab at the top, next to the forum tab.
