Skins are not a problem anymore because I was putting them into the Program Files>Stardock>objectdock folders instead of documents>objectdock. Also, copy and paste or extracting won't work. Says Acces denied. And yes, I am the admin.
The preferred path to put them in is C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds. I say this because some of us ObjectDock skinners hardcode the plus/minus images to reference that particular path. Otherwise, you won't get the use of the plus/minus images. 
That business with putting them in the ObjectDock Library folders located under My Documents came along with the .dockzip snazzle a while ago...yer hardliners still use the above referenced path though.
