How do I un-install Iconpackager

In the past I've only used Fences (which I like, despite the fact that it STILL screws my layout all to hell-and-gone every time I reboot; I had hoped that upgrading to Fences 3 with my recent renewal would fix that, but no-joy...) and when i renewed this past week, I went ahead and got some of the other stuff. I'd never been willing to mess with it before, since I didn't want to worry about adding change on top of a system I liked. But... my HD had just caught fire, fallen over, and THEN sank into the swamp, so I figured I had nothing to lose.

Fast forward to today. I still like Fences, despite the foregoing parenthetical, but have decided that the rest aren't things I'm interested in dealing with right now. No harm, no foul -- I don't feel cheated or anything. But I DO want the various non-fences bits I installed to be NOT installed on my system. Fine. I open ODM, click uninstall. It sends me to the Windows Add/Remove panel. Fine. I do my thing and poof... there go Deskscapes, Thememanager, and Windowblinds. But when I get to Icon Packager,  the system hums for a second (Bach, lately, which is soothing), then the screens go grey-ish, and I get a big ICON PACKAGER logo compensating all over my monitors, and then I get prompted to put in a licence key. Which I may or may not have, but damn if I'm going to put in a key to REMOVE a piece of software. That violates the entire premise.

So what gives? How do I get this thing off. As a behavior patter for a piece of code, its antecedents and close relatives are not exactly savory....

On first use, IconPackager prompts for a key (as might be expected).
On uninstall, IconPackager runs and attempts to reset any icons to the default.

Since you never ran it, this is the "first run" and are getting prompted for a key.

I apologize.  You are a pretty edge case and are caught up in us trying to make sure things were left as we found them.
