Installation

Simply download the file that you wish to add, and double click it to run it. If it is a .reg file: You will be prompted with a Registry Editor confirmation box, choose accordingly! You can delete the downloaded file(s) afterwards if you like! If it is a .bat file: It will pull up command prompt and will query would with a continuation question for the program to add the Registry Keys, choose accordingly!

Options and Misc

The Options folder is for options that are not implemented in the RAA folder. This is beause a simple reg file cannot suffice the commands needed to detect a Skype Option, and block it from showing up, or to restart Explorer.

When running one of the Skype related .bat's in the Options folder, restarting Explorer is needed to show the changes, each of these .bat's comes with a Restart Explorer question, and will restart it if stated so.

The Misc foler is for miscellaneous files or for files that are truely the Windows Extras files

All .bat contents can be accessed by right-clicking and choosing edit.
