HOW TO USE THESE WINDOWS 95 (R) MELISSA ETHERIDGE DESKTOP ITEMS

1. Create a folder to hold these theme items, directly off your C: drive 
(makes it easier to find later). Let's call the folder MELISSA_THEME.

2. Move the .zip file(s) you just downloaded into the MELISSA_THEME folder.

3. Unzip the files using PKZIP Shareware. If you don't have a copy, download it from 
   a shareware site such as:
