Uvah, we like our nuts hot!

That's getting squirrely. Way too squirrely. Also, way TMI.

Fixed the HTC problem:
Using the apps uninstaller (C:User/appdata/roaming/steathsoftware/uninstaller/uninstall.exe) I removed the app.
Then, Task Manager to close uninstall.exe. Then remove the HTCHome folder (simple delete).
Reinstalled, went through the wizard, and downloaded skins. Now can simply drop them in.
