Option 1) If your skins are in wsz format, then double-clicking on them should work.

Option 2) If your skins are in zip format, you have to put them in the Skins directory (by default, this will be Program Files/Winamp/Skins) or, if you want, you can rename them into wsz files and then refer to Option 1

Option 3) Your skins are a bunch of Bitmap files.
Then, you have three solutions:
a) You put the Bitmap and text files in a subfolder in the Skins directory
b)You zip all the files using a program such as Powerarchiver and then do as explained in option 2
c) You zip all the files using a program such as Powerarchiver then rename them into wsz files using for instance Lupas Rename and then do as explained in option 1

To be complete on the subject, you have to know that the skins directory can be chosen: go to the Preferences window (Ctrl+P), then highlight "Skins" and click "Set skins directory". Make sure that you stored your skins in the appropriate directory !

Hope this helps
