DETAILED INSTALLATION:

  1. Open the Riven.ZIP file in WinZip.
  2. Click on the EXTRACT button.
  3. This will open the Extract Window. In the "Extract To:" box, type "C:\" (no quotation marks). This will extract the files to the proper destination automatically. It will not extract the files to your root directory if you have followed these instructions correctly. If you have not followed the instructions carefully all the contents of the zip file will end up in your root directory.
  4. Check "Overwrite Existing Files" and "Use Folder Names". (This is not really necessary but it will insure that if your zip is an upgrade to a previous theme that the new files will replace the older ones. So just do it J ).
  5. Click on the "Extract" button. This will automatically

create a Riven directory in your themes directory and

extract the files there.

  1. Load the theme with the Desktop Themes program.

*If this theme has StartUp and Shutdown Logos read the following for their installation, if your theme doesn’t have any Logos, skip this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Riven Shutdown and startup images:

Instructions:

When the Riven.ZIP file contents are extracted the 3 Logo images

will automatically be placed in the following:

Riven Logo.sys - C:\

Riven LogoW.sys - C:\Windows

Riven LogoS.sys - C:\Windows

*NOTE* If you are looking in C:\ or C:\Windows and don't see any ".SYS"

files it is probably because you need to set your windows explorer to

"view all files (and file extensions)." To do this simply go to "view"

in windows explorer, then select "options" then click the "show all files"

and if you need to, uncheck "hide msdos file extensions..." And put these

settings back when you are done installing your logos! :)

Before proceeding further, backup your original Windows Logo files!

For simplicity's sake rename the Windows logos as follows,

(or name them whatever you want as long as you can remember their new names.):

1. Rename these files to the following:

Location:

C:\Logo.sys

C:\Windows\LogoS.sys

C:\Windows\LogoW.sys

Filename & Change:

Logo.sys changes to WinLogo.sys

Logos.sys changes to WinLogoS.sys

Logow.sys changes to WinLogoW.sys

Final Location:

C:\WinLogo.sys

C:\Windows\WinLogoS.sys

C:\Windows\WinLogoW.sys

2. Now you can proceed to install the Riven StartUp and Shutdown

screens! (Remember the new Riven files are already extracted

to the proper locations!) Rename these files to the following:

Location:

C:\Riven Logo.sys

C:\Windows\Riven LogoS.sys

C:\Windows\Riven LogoW.sys

Filename & Change:

Riven Logo.sys changes to Logo.sys

Riven Logos.sys changes to LogoS.sys

Riven Logow.sys changes to LogoW.sys

Final Location:

C:\Logo.sys

C:\Windows\LogoS.sys

C:\Windows\LogoW.sys

And you're done! The three files are:

Logo.sys is the startup screen

Logow.sys is the "shutting down computer" screen

Logos.sys is the "Shut down complete" screen

To uninstall these logos, just reverse these instructions!

TADA!
