So I checked uTorrent's site and they have special skins to customize the program. I've found a few that I like, but I'm supposed to save the files in the %AppData%/uTorrent folder. I can search for it via Run, but am unable to locate the folder when trying to save the files. So can anyone help?

The location of the uTorrent appdata folder is: C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent in Vista & 7.
In XP & below, replace users with Documents and Settings, and omit the roaming folder (So, C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\AppData\uTorrent)

Edit: You will need to show hidden files & folders to see these folders.

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\uTorrent

you need to have hidden files viewable. go to control panel > appearance and themes > folder options then the view tab and then check the circle that says 'show hidden files and folders'

So I downloaded the skin I wanted, restarted the program and the changes haven't taken place. Any suggestions?

Sure you actually restarted uTorrent? (By right-clicking the icon in the taskbar & clicking on close, the 'X' just closes the program to the tray, yet it stays running)

No, I right clicked the icon and selected "Exit". A window opened up asking if I wanted to close, so I clicked yes. Still nothing.
