Reply to Bootskin Tutorial? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Thanks guys for the info...unfortunately I don't understand greek...lol Is there a way to download a bootskin and open it to look at how it was put together? I've tried opening one as text but there's nothing there to see. Is there a particular program I need to use in order to view the file as text?

Yes...I can see it now at the bank...Yes please...I'd like to make out a check to Jafo, Yrag, ChinaCat, & Apocalypse67...and could you make that out for 30 cents each? Wait... what do you mean I need to put on this white coat first...What?...What do you mean the Patriot Act...But these are real people!...I know because I've seen their....uh... names...errrr...nics...What are you talking about?...What master plan to take over the world by building a skin for it!?...

Did a few searches before posting here that didn't really produce anything. I've seen some info at Bootxp.net, but from what I've seen they use the ntoskrnl.exe method which I assume is not compatible with the bootskin program from WC. So no point in gleaning over that tutorial and corrupting my brain... To bad the people that have already made bootskins for WC haven't written anything out any info about thi

If you want to permanently remove them follow these steps exactly. Click your "start"...then "run"...the type in "regedit" (without the quotes)...click and open "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/" by clicking the plus sign...then click "edit"...then "find"...in the find text box type "IsShortcut" (witout the quotes)...(If you are running) WindowsXp there will be five references in all and you will have to use the "find next" method for each one)...once you have found them...right click...then click "r

Ok...back to the drawing board After uninstalling Wb & Wb4 again...Zapping... deleting the wbload.exe files...doing the Add/Remove of WB's...hiding the WB3.51 version in SDC...rebooting...and reinstalling WB4...it worked again...I applied a skin...and then when I restarted my PC and tried to open WB's4 again I was right back to square one. So I'm game for any more ideas as to what could be causing this. <br

Thanks again for all your help Yrag...your a gentlemen and a scholar And that goes for everyone else that had some input to give regarding this problem...My thanks to them as well. [Message Edited]

Ok Yrag...just so I got this straight. Even though all these programs are listed in SDC that doesn't mean they aren't stand alone programs? I was under the assumption that everything listed in SDC was dealt with from there and weren't stand alone unless I download the program seperately from the others. And what I've done so far is this...I've uninstalled both WB3.51 & WB4...deleted the WB folder...used the zapper...removed Wb's from my Add/Remove...and deleted all references to wbload

Thnaks for all the info f0r3....much appreciated Hi KarmaGirl...one question before I start deleteing all the Wbload.exe files I find, is this file specific to WindowBlinds? And to give you a rundown on how things got to this point. After I purchased the ObjectDesktop software, all I

Ok...and I went to find this ODINST.exe file and it's not there. And another thing is that even though it says WindowBlinds is not installed there are still files in the WindowBlinds folder. Is this some I need to somehow uninstall as well, which I have no idea how to do. [Message Edited] [Message Edited]

Another update...I just uninstalled WB4 and tried to re-uninstall WB3.51 but it said there was a problem uninstalling it. So...I next brought up the zapper to let it do it's thing and WB's was not even listed!? It was however listed under the "unload" tab of the zapper. Well, I wasn't quite sure if I should try that just yet so I restarted my PC and when I brought up the zapper again WB's wasn't listed anywhere. Now when I go to the software in SDC both versions of WB's "appear" to be uninstall

Thanks Yrag...that did the trick... ...all is well now with WB4. And it even skins my Standby/logoff/Restart dialog. That was something WB3.51 didn't do. I should have thought of that, but since I've seen versions of other things

Ok Yrag...thanks. I will try that. And one more ? Shouldn't the older version of WB's be removed from stardock central when you install the newer version? Like when they removed the version of WebBlinds? [Message Edited]

No...well at least I don't think so. When I first downloaded Stardock Central I've always seen 2 versions, WB's & WB's4. Like right now I see WB's3.51 & WB's4.19. Since they were both there I always assumed they were suppose to be there. I haven't downloaded the 4.19 version again because of the ongoing problem, so the only version I have now is the 3.51 version. [Message Edited] [Message Edited]

First, let me say that I have nothing but good things to say in general about Stardock products, WinCustomize and all the great skinners here, and this is NOT at all about bashing anyone. But the problem I have had on several occasions has been in writing to Stardock support and never receiving a response back other than the auto response. And I should add that I have been very patient and waited over a week for a response, rather than the 3 business days suggested, and which is now almost 2 wee
