Right-click (or control-click, on a Mac) this [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/adobe-panel/CreativeCommonsPanel-2007.txt link to our panel file] and choose to '''save''' the file, not just "open" it. Under Windows save it to the Desktop.  Under OS X save the file to

where {YOUR USERNAME} is replaced with your Windows username.  The easiest way do this is to save the file to the desktop, and then to:
 
 
 
# Click on the Start Menu
 
# Click "Run..."
 
# Type Desktop\..\Application Data
 
# Click "OK"
 
# Open the "Adobe" folder inside there
 
# Open the "XMP" folder inside there, ''or create it'' if there is no XMP folder
 
# Open the "Custom File Info Panels" folder inside, ''or create it'' if there is no folder by that name
 
# Drag the XMP file you saved to your desktop to the folder that just opened
 
# Close the folder
 
 
 
You may have to create the "XMP" folder under "Adobe", and you may also have to create the "Custom File Info Panels" folder under "XMP".
