FAQ
===
1. How to restore Windows CD Player as default player
-----------------------------------------------------
When OrangeCD deinstalls, it sets up Windows CD Player as default player. (Note it
does not remember any other player you had).
OR: you can open CDPLAYER.REG file to do this manually.

2. How to change default "orange" skin?
---------------------------------------
Just replace SKIN.BMP file which is located in the same folder as ORANGECD.EXE.
