Well assuming you have downloaded a WMP skin ( I´m not being funny... you would be surprised ) unzip it and place it into ~ C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins. ( or whatever drive you have your program files under ). You can try unzipping it directly into the skins folder, but from experience I tend to zip to MyDocs and transfer it from there ( that way if the file contains a load of image files and readme stuff you don´t have to clog up the skins folder with that as well but can just move the wmz, and delete the rest).

Then open WMP, go to access application menus ( the small downward facing triangle on the top right )\view\skin chooser and highlight the skin you want to use, then click "apply skin".
