I'm quite certain you're right, Matt. I did some more digging through the Skype forum and came across a message from one of their technicians that suggested deleting the Skype folder in the Applications Data folder and to look through the Programs and Windows directories and delete any file that begins with skype. Then reinstall the CAB and that should do it. I found and successfully deleted the Skype folder from the Application Data folder, but this was the only reference to Skype that I could find, even with the Show Hidden Files option enabled. I'll report back with my results. I hope it works, because doing a hard reset would hurt.
Thanks,
Ren
