Download window_menus.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying window_menus.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Nullsoft typically does not release Winamp XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing window_menus.xml and all other XML files for Winamp. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
