If you want to use the default skin you can download a custom one, copy the default settings.xml (in the games directory), paste it over the settings.xml from your downloaded skin and place it in the My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\skins\whateveryourskinnameis\settings folder. Then delete the rest of the downloaded skin.
Also if you do it for the default skin, you still have to load that default skin in game but since the only thing located in there is the settings.xml it will use that settings.xml file and then the default skin for everything else.
