FWIW - Installing Additional Party Skins

[Wyers]

People had recently begun to complain about the fact they could no longer sign up for multiple party skins. I was inquiring about this in a former post when MicroBob commented that the rumored death of being able to register with multiple skins was premature.

Anyhow, I went ahead and set up an account with Empire after deleting the Party skin - no problems. Here are the steps I took.

1. CONTROL PANEL - Add/Remove Programs : Delete Party Poker

2. MANUALLY DELETED the PartyPoker folder from "Program Files". Seems that Step 1 didn't catch this.

2. REGEDIT: Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software-> PartyPoker folder from the registry.

3. REGEDIT: Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE-> Calculator

<font color="blue">In a previous thread there was some debate re: deleting the entire calculator folder or just the UCID key within the folder. I accidentally deleted the entire calculator folder [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] - no ill effects thus far. </font>

3. FIREFOX AND IE: Delete all cookies, cache, and history.

4. SEARCH ALL FILES AND FOLDERS FOR "PARTY". Discovered an entry in PreFetch - C(system drive):/windows/prefetch
Deleted this entry

5. SEARCH THE REGISTRY - for any additional keys relating to "PARTY" - no notable hits.

6. REBOOT - double checked -&gt; all deleted files, keys, etc... remained deleted.

7. INSTALLED Empire with a different email address - didn't even try to use the same addy. Just set a mail filter to send all Empire correspondence to my secondary Poker address Inbox for simplicity.

<font color="blue">All other pertinent info remained the same - name, username, street address, Neteller.</font>

8. REINSTALLED PARTY

9. REBOOTED AND TESTED both accounts - NO PROBLEM

Overkill? Maybe. But it worked on the first attempt. Curious to see if posters who had previously been unable to create an account at another skin will have success with this method - or did I luck out? Either way I'm happy to finally have an account with rakeback for when I'm not bonus whoring. I had created accounts at most other major sites prior to having any clue what rakeback was all about.

Hopefully others will find this helpful.
