I didn't see this anywhere else so: I tried installing a skin from the official VLC site and now when I try to load VLC it immediately crashes. Is there someway I can manually access the settings (as in externally since I can't access the interface). If so what settings do I need to change to remove the skin.

Easiest would be to reset your settings by just deleting the VLCPortable\Data folder.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
That was honestly too easy. No wonder, I didn't think of it.
