Problems with LogonStudio

Help Needed

from WinCustomize Forums
First I'd like to apologize if I've posted this in the wrong forum. I wasn't quite sure where it belonged. ^_^;

I've had LogonStudio for a few months now, and I've never experienced any problems. Recently I downloaded a logon and tried to open it with LS. LS opened but the logon was not listed. I tried several different things, none which were successful. A friend suggested I uninstall and then reinstall it. So I did this only to find that all the logons, which had previously worked, no longer showed up on the list. This frustrated me to no end, and again, I tried fooling around with LS seeing if I could get it to work. Again it did not. -_-;

One way I found to add new logons is through the WinCustomize browser. I have to download one from the Library (of which there is a limited selection) and then hit the install button. I'd like to get LS back to the way it worked originally which is:
1) I'd download a logon from WinCustomize (or whereever)
2) Unzip it, and then open the logon file with LS
3) LS would open and then the new logon could be found in the list

I'm sure there's some simple solution but hell if I can find it. Any suggestions welcome.

The way I always did it was this:

Download file to "My Documents" and unzip it there.

Look inside extracted information and find the folder that contains the logon image and ".ini" file (and usually bears the name of the Logon Skin).

Move this folder to "C:\Program Files\WinCustomize\Logon Studio" folder (where "C" is the letter drive).

Start Logon Studio and it then shows in the list.

I hope this helps.

Or another way I do it is when you start your download it will ask you to save or open...say open..it auto installs log on studio appears and you apply it. done..hope this helped.

Thanks Corky, Butch ^_~.

It's now working beautifully. I had to delete all my old logons to avoid the confusion of which ones are now installed and which aren't. ^_^;

Anyhow, now all I have to do is re-download everything. O.O
