Installation

The following instructions relate to the .Zip file version.  If you have a file with .exe on the end,  just double-click on it to install.

1.	Unzip the archive to a temporary location with an unzip program that supports long filenames like WinZip. (Available from http://www.winzip.com/) You should now have one folder and the files listed above.
2.	Go to the root folder of your boot drive (usually c:\) and rename the file logo.sys to logo.w95. Next, move the file logo.sys from the temporary location to this folder.
3.	Go to your Windows folder (usually c:\windows) and rename the files logow.sys and logos.sys to logow.w95 and logos.w95. Next, move the file logow.sys and logos.sys from the temporary location to this folder.
4.	Go to your Themes folder (usually c:\program files\plus!\themes\) and create a folder called “Father Ted Theme” (Note: spelling is important)
5.	Move the others files from your temporary folder to  your Father Ted Theme folder (usually c:\program files\plus!\themes\Father Ted Theme\)
6.	Go to your Father Ted Theme folder (usually c:\program files\plus!\themes\ Father Ted Theme) and move the files (2) with the *.theme extension back up to your Themes folder (usually c:\program files\plus!\themes\)
7.	Start up Microsoft !Plus and select Father Ted Theme click on “OK”.  
8.	If using Desktop Themes.exe (a shareware equivalent of Microsoft Plus!) double click on Desktop Themes.exe and select Father Ted Theme from the current settings drop down list. Click on Apply.
9.	If using Desktop Themes.exe double click on Desktop Themes.exe and select Screens from the menu bar.  Browse to locations of logo.sys, logow.sys and logow.sys (usually C:\) and set current settings to those locations. Click on Install and OK.

Screensaver

You should have the Father Ted.scr file in your C:\Windows directory (or whatever you called yours) together with a *.bmp file called Father Ted.bmp.  If your Windows directory is named different from  WINDOWS then drag the files from the WINDOWS directory and drop them into your windows directory.  

Here is how you set up the screensaver.

1. Right click on the Backdrop and click on properties. 
2. In the Screen Saver drop box choose Father Ted.  
3. Click on Settings
4. Click on Select a Bitmap
5. Scroll down until you see a file called Father Ted.bmp
6. Highlight it and click OK
7. Click on Preview (don't move the mouse)
8. You should see a picture of Father Ted bouncing across the screen
