Can someone provide insight about why the SkinPath would be a directory that doesn't even exist, and why it would be in a folder in the C:\Users directory that does NOT correspond to my account name where everything else is stored, and, more importantly, what can I do to fix this??? I tried editing the
  • Close Rainmeter (I mean right click its icon in the Notification Area and click Exit). Alternatively instead of closing Rainmeter, you might try right clicking the Rainmeter icon and click Edit settings, however I'd better recommend to close it.
  • Locate the following file: C:\Users\XXXX2\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.ini.
  • Locate the [Rainmeter] section of this file. Check the SkinPath option, stored into this section. Rainmeter looks for skins in the folder given by this option. Replace the option to the proper one (SkinPath=D:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\).
  • Move (copy) all configs (Neon Space Pro and DropTop4 most probably) into this D:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\ folder.
  • Restart Rainmeter.
Now Rainmeter should see the stored and existing skins.
FYI, when I installed Windows11 a long time ago, I relocated my Documents folder to D:\Documents (rather than C:\Users\XXXX2\Documents), and have never had a problem with Rainmeter or any other installed program.
Same here: my Documents folder is exactly on the same place (D:\Documents), skins being stored at D:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\. Same way as you, had no problems at all over more than a decade since I'm using Rainmeter.
