Never fear, I have a pin right here!

I have a flash drive with all the WB skins I've kept over the years and had backed up off Win XP when I got Vista. I got them to install then, but now I've done a format and clean install of Vista and suddenly I couldn't get them to work. I put them in the Windowblinds folder under Program files--didn't work. I found this post and went "Aha!"  Went and put them in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds--still won't work! Now, I have a couple hundred skins in two folders that don't work!

Now what?   :maybe: :( :maybe: :( :maybe: :(

MG, after putting them in the documents folder,did you open WB config and select the "Rebuild List" option? In WB7 it's in the skin options tab.

Is my face red! I went and looked again, and dang if it wasn't right there under skin options!

Thanks for the kick in the pants to bring me to, Wiz!    \o/

There they are, all my skins back! :karma:
