All I can say is - WOW!!! That is a tremendous job at explaining all the nuances of skinning - much more than a WB tutorial. It rightly deserves a solid place on the stardock servers.

Yep - that is the culprit. Go into your "File Types" and look at the WBA properties. You will notice that the "Confirm open on download" (or something like that), will be UNchecked. You need to check that box. Zip files have this box checked, so they prompt for download location. Who at Stardock is behind this? Let the guilty speak now, or forever be acursed!

Reply to Where did you get started? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It's nice to know that I wasn't the only geek in the late 70's. I got very good at Combat and Break-out on the Atari 2600. My favorite was River Raid, but that was years later. My first real computer was the Timex Sinclair, and then I got a "Trash 80". But it wasn't until the Commodore Vic20 that I found my calling in life. That was a beautiful 8 color 40x24 screen (know what I mean?) But then in 1985 or so I got a C64 with a tape drive. I was in heaven. I had that computer until 1991 w

As soon as I find a job I'll purchase the CD. THat is for two reasons. 1) I want to help the best skinning community on the planet 2) I will have a virgin PC that will need all the skins and then some.
