Hi this hasnt really got much to do with deskops, but im trying to sort mine out... Every time i download a folder it comes as a Winzip file. So idownloaded winzip free trial but its sooo annoying having to re download winzip trial after 45 days. Does anyone know how if can stop my computer fromdownloading files into winzip and just as a folder like computers normally do?

Appreciate any help

 

[18key]

Get winrar. It's free and easier to use. Just un-rar whatever you download into the same folder by choosing 'Extract Here.'

Okay I'm stuck on the weather part. I outlined the part which tells me to put the weather code, but I cant figure out how to put it in there.Do I delete part of the code? Leave it all in tact and just slide my zip code in there somewhere? This +$%% is confusing as hell.

edit: Figured it out.

Right click on the Rainmeter icon in the system tray
at the bottom you will see Enigma\Taskbar\MoxaWeather
choose this and then choose "Edit Skin"
you will get a text document, here is where you edit your zip code:

im still having trouble setting the code on mine...i go to "edit skin" and i cant find where it says "weathercode" any help?

 

[18key]

It's in the Measures part of the code. You'll find a Yahoo URL, near the end replace the #WeatherCode# part with your zip code.
How mine looks:

Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=ZIP CODE HERE&u=#Fahrenheit#
Refresh it and BAM you're set.

you can be doing A LOT better. i did this for on my windows 7 partition and its a pretty good looking set up and its not as hackneyed as most of these are. youguys can transform it in no time and have a more fluid looking desktop. some of these steps are already here so that should aid you guys in the process if youlike the gaia setup.

Went from completely stock with files and +%%$ everywhere to this :

You should hide the silver bar that has the start menu on it or whatever its called.

It'll look a lot cleaner.
