Uploaded the Rainmeter skin for the Custom Lync Room system to DeviantArt

Requires Rainmeter 3.1 - http://rainmeter.net/

Latest version of the Lync Room System Rainmeter Skin
http://gmpentaxfan.deviantart.com/art/Lync-Room-System-Custom-Desktop-Rainmeter-Skin-450762970

This allows for desktop icons, date, time, battery level, speaker levels and custom application launching without "explorer.exe" running.

Added the Rainmeter.exe with custom rainmeter.ini to load this skin via the computer startup script.
