THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
DESKTOP THEME FOR WINDOWS 95

Created by Allan Newsome
Version 1.1, June 3, 1998

Introduction

The Andy Griffith Show - Theme v1.1 is, as you might guess, a TAGS desktop theme designed for Microsoft Plus! for Microsoft Windows 95. This theme includes recycle bin icons, TAGS wallpaper, TAGS system sounds and much more! There are many sound files that can't be assigned and saved as part of the automatic desktop setup in Microsoft Plus! To use these files you will need to manually select the sounds for use on your computer. (The files were originally created as part of a "Who's Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board" Chapter of "The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club" desktop so the file names are proceeded by WBMUTBB.)

Changes from Version 1.0 to Version 1.1

The only change the Theme is the creation of an executable file to automate the installation of the Theme itself. This file has also been updated to reflect the changes in installation procedures. There are no other constructive changes.

Requirements

Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, an unzip program with support for long filenames like WinZip from Nico Mak Computing (Available from http://www.winzip.com/). A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels or higher with 256 colors or more is recommended to get the best quality. People running Microsoft Windows 3.1 may be able to use certain parts of this theme to enhance their desktop by manually assigning the sounds, pictures etc. to the appropriate items.

Installation

  1. Unzip the archive (TAGSThme.zip) using an unzip program that supports long filenames like WinZip (Available from http://www.winzip.com/) to a temporary directory (ie. c:\atheme). The temporary directory will contain two files, TAGS Setup Help.rtf and TAGSTheme.exe, the first of which is this file and the second is the self installing archive of the theme.
  2. To install The Andy Griffith Show Desktop Theme, double click on the TAGSTheme.exe file. This file will automatically be targeted to C:\ on your computer and will install the files to the C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes directory. You may change the target directory from C: but this is not recommended unless your MS Plus installation was non-standard.
  3. You should now be able select the " The Andy Griffith Show - Theme" from your MSPlus desktop themes control located in your control panel and enjoy Mayberry on your desktop.
  4. You may also delete the temporary directory discussed in step #1 though you might want to save the TAGSThme.zip file somewhere for future use.
