------------------------How to these applications With Windows Plus------------------------------
1. Unzip the file using Winzip version 6.0 or higher into your themes directory (do
not use another unzip program, because they will not support the long filenames.)
When you extract from winzip, make sure you have the "Use Folder Names" button
checked or it will not work. (It will make a folder called "PODTHEME" inside your
themes directory.
2. Activate the themes section of control panel and select the "Pod theme" from the
list. It is present in both the root directory of your themes folder and in the
"PODTHEME" sub-directory.
3. To activate the startup and shutdown screens, simply copy "logo.sys" into your
root directory (usually drive C:\). Next, copy "logow.sys" & "logos.sys" into your
main windows directory (usually C:\windows\).
**********Important**********
If you wish to retain your original startup and shut down screens, you must make
a backup BEFORE copying the files!
4. To use the Folder icons, you need to install MicroAngelo or another program to
associate default icons with other icons. With MicroAngelo, use MicroAngelo
Engineer, select Folder and associate the icons like this:
Closed Folder : Closed Folder.ico
Open Folder : Open Folder.ico
