It is just that this is really old and the author had hard coded the paths in the skin.

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [c:\windows\notepad.exe c:\progra~1\rainme~1\skins\quoten~1\notes.txt]

You can change all places that look like that to:

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["Notepad" "#CURRENTPATH#notes.txt"]

Here is properly formatted .rmskin of your creation.

I left it as a .zip so you can take a look at what folders and files are inside and how to format that .cfg file. If you rename this to .rmskin it will install just fine.
