unfortunate solution to the skinning problem in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hi I posting this for all the people who r having problems with windows blinds not skinning,going to classic theme both normally and upon reboot.i had tried every solution and got the program to work...kind of half ass(on startup it would go blurry to apply the skin again)but it wasnt good enough for me.So i did a factory restore and started from scratch,and guess what,not only did the program work perfectly (ie no turning off anti virus and spyware tools to make it work)but my syste

What you may be able to do to alleviate the issue is put a shortcut to wbload.exe in your startup di
