Seeking Obsolete Absolution

from WinCustomize Forums

I have a tri-boot pc with 8,7 and xp . And although 99% of the time I boot right into 7 to do most of my stuff, occasionally I boot into xp because I have programs there that only operate "right" or the way I want them to. Yesterday when I did this for the first time in about 3 months I decided to change the look of my xp desktop with a different wb but when I scanned the site for xp skins it seems they're in the obsolete bin...so here's my big question....

 

Where is the place that is recommended the best for me to get old xp skins from? The most reliable or safest?

I have googled it and more than a few sites pop up for getting these files from but what site or where do you guys suggest I look?

Ah thank ye. I tried the filter option for "xp ready" and was given a "no results" reply and thunk they wasn't accessible. How did ya bring that page up you linked to? Wait...it wasn't something as simple as typin xp inta the search box was it?

Same here. Doc, that method should work, but it doesn't.

Typing xp in the search box in the WB Gallery works.

The box is shown in my screeny next to DrJBHL in the upper right corner.

Searching for XP is the most efficient way.  WinCustomize doesn't have a "made a XP" checkbox, so that category won't fetch any results.  Not even sure why it's there, but it is.
