How To Install Third-Party Skin Packs (CustoPack Type) In Windows 7 Safely

We have shared some cool skin packs already for Windows 7 and some more are on the queue. Those are undoubtedly one of the easy and best way to change the whole outlook of your system, but if you are not a regular user, then you might feel some troubles to install those packs and then uninstall them safely and reverting all system files back. As mentioned, we have some for skin packs on queue to share, so instead of writing the same thing (how to install/uninstall them) again and again in all of the topics, we are creating this article. So get ready and enjoy the freedom of skin packs.

Pre-Procedure

Always keep in mind that these type of skin packs used to replace a lot of system files and add new options as well as software in your system. Even uninstalling them will not always revert all changes back and make your system look like before (You might see missed icons, unsorted menu or even your system might fail to boot.). So it is highly recommended to take an initial backup of your system so that you can restore from any sort of mess. If you are not sure about how to take backup of your system quickly and how to use “System Restore” safely and perfectly, then you should check our guide of “A Brief Guide About Creating A System Restore Point & Using It Safely”.

So first create a Restore Point manually before getting into the installation. This will help you to restore you PC if anything messy happens. For your own safety, please don’t ignore this step. After the backup has completed, you can proceed.

Now we need to disable “UAC” (User Account Control Settings). For this, hit the start menu first and search for “UAC” then open up “Change User Account Control Settings”.

Now move the option to “Never Notify” from the left option. Then click OK.

Installing CustoPack

This is an optional step but I would recommend to install it first. This tool will give you easy and better control over your system appearance. So first download CustoPack and then run it. The installation wizard will start immediately. Click Next to start this procedure.

Now you will be displayed the License Agreement for using this software. Read this and then click on “I Agree”.

Here we can select the way of installation. There are two modes, let’s proceed with default “Quick Install” mode. Hit Next.

Now you can select destination folder for this software. Browse and select for the place you want CustoPack to be installed. Leave untouched to use the default settings.

Now we are ready to finish installation. Click on install to start the process. This will install the software.

 

Installing Skin Pack

So we are now all ready to install a skin pack. Download your favorite one and then run it via double clicking on it. The installation package will check for system requirement. Wait until it finishes.

Now the installation wizard will start. Click on Next to proceed.

Here you will see specification, user agreement and requirement for this skin pack. Read this and then put a check mark on “I accept the terms of the License Agreement” option and then click Next.

Now you will be asked to select installation method for this software. There are two option with “Quick Installation” and “Custom Installation”. If you want to change default settings and installation directory, select “Custom Installation” then, otherwise proceed with “Quick Installation”.

Now select whose you want to install. Check all those options and then click on Install.

Now the installation process will start. Wait while it installs software.

You will be shown a Window after the installation have finished asking whether you want to Reboot your system instantly or you have planned to reboot later. Make sure to Re-Boot your system instantly. After restarting your system, you will have a brand new skin pack installed safely on your Windows.
