Sure. It took me a while to figure it out too. Here's what to do:
You have to use the TascalRegEdit program to import the registry file. You
can download that free program from here. The url again is
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/tascalregedit.shtm...

You have to download the Windows Media Registry file. Go to this board
again: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=54775 Look at the
first entry. Download the attached zip file from pearj. After you extract the
files you can copy the "mediaplayer" registry file to your PocketPC. Put it
in any folder you can remember.

In your PocketPC open the TascalRegEdit program. It is listed at TRE (Go
"Start", "Programs", "TRE"). Go to the File menu in the program and click
"Import Registry". It should recognize and display the "mediaplayer" registry
file. Tap it and you should get a message leting you know it was imported
correctly.

Do a soft reset and then open up Windows Media Player. It now should be able
to recognize your skins.

If any of these steps doesn't seem to work just respond back and let me know
what doesn't seem to work.

The last step of course is to do a hard reset, but try to avoid that if
possible.
