Open up Windows Explorer... go to "View" at the top... choose "Folder Options"... choose "View" under your folder options... and uncheck the box for "Hide file extensions for known file types"... once you've done that, go to the zip file you want to change, and just take out ".zip" and type ".wsz" instead. After that, go through the same steps and just check the "hide file extensions" box to get it back to the original setting.

Theres an easier way...

If you use winzip (not sure about others)

Select all the files that make up your skin, right click and go to add to zip, then name the zip file like this

skinname.ws (winzip doesnt like extensions that end in z)

then rename it to skinname.wsz

unless explorer recognises a file extension .ws it saves messing with folder options etc..
