Hey, guys. Whats up? When ever I go and drag files to skins or docklets, it deletes it. I am able to create a new folder inside skins and when i drag the dll file, teracopy says I am denied entry. how do I fix this? Also, good site for skins for objectdock? Thanks.
denied entry sounds like you're trying to drag something in use
No, its not that because my computer would say its in use before denied entry. Thanks
I think you found the right place for objectdock skins...
where are you dragging from and to?
you need to put each whole unzipped folder
To messiah1: Thanks, not sure if there were other sites besides this one.
To Bichur: I am dragging from either Desktop or Downloads. And I am decompressing with winrar.
What happens if you try to extract directly to the backgrounds or docklets folders,instead of dragging them there?
Have you tried a good old fashioned Ctrl+C (copy) Ctrl+V (paste)?
Skins are not a problem anymore because I was putting them into the Program Files>Stardock>objectdock folders instead of documents>objectdock. Also, copy and paste or extracting won't work. Says Acces denied. And yes, I am the admin.
Give Unlocker a look,it may do what you need. LINK
from the review: "The application removes file-access restrictions that prevent a user from moving, deleting, or renaming a file."
......"it unlocks or disables whatever is preventing the user to access that file"
It's freeware,so it costs nothing to try it.
The preferred path to put them in is C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds. I say this because some of us ObjectDock skinners hardcode the plus/minus images to reference that particular path. Otherwise, you won't get the use of the plus/minus images. 
That business with putting them in the ObjectDock Library folders located under My Documents came along with the .dockzip snazzle a while ago...yer hardliners still use the above referenced path though.
Alright, thanks guys(girls?). Ill try that unlocker
EDIT: Tried that unlocker. And I was successfully able to install a docklets. Now, any docklets you recommend?
I'm glad that worked for you. I recommend trying the stacks docklet,it really cuts down on dock clutter. LINK
i installed stacks but don't really understand it. how do i apply it to folders?
Give this video a look. It's brief tutorial for using them on OD. LINK
There are other videos listed on Google that may also help.
