Disabling The HTC HomePlug-in

From time to time as I have been trying to figure out how to safely and easily change the shell and theme on my HTC Mogul, I come across a list of instructions that explain how to install a particular theme or program. One of the most common series of instructions involves disabling the HTC Home Plug-in, but no one ever explains how. The simplest understanding of how to do this is like this:

1) Go to START/SETTINGS/personal.
2) Look for the "today icon" and click on it (to disable HTC HOME PLUGIN)
3) Click on the "HTC home" to disable it
4) then EXTRACT the zip file of the theme or whatever it is you are installing that requires this step into your "WINDOWS" folder and set the extract to "ovewrite".
5) After extracting, return to step 1 and click the "today icon" and then "ENABLE" the "HTC home" plugin by clicking on it.

Please let me know if this is correct.

Also, when you overwrite the plug-in, can you get it back? If not, what specific steps can one take before doing anything to safely return their device to the way it looked before? And please don't just say backup your files, because I'm not sure what those files are.

Thanks,
Rene
