MPB Customizing Gone WRONG. HELP

I love this site, but I honestly hate how much I've had to rely on it in the past month. Seriously.

So, like any Mac nerd, I've heavily customized my MPB, during Leopard. After the update, Magnifique didn't work, almost ****ed up my computer completely, so I only did some light icon changing. And then my friend m4cbook on YouTube, decided to light my nerdy ways again. He made a video on how to change the menu bar on my Snow Leopard.

It involved changing the Extras2.rscr or whatever it was called, and some sART.bin file thing, oh, and the Menu Extras. I'm too bothered to find the exact name, as this has been giving me a headache for the past hour.

Ok, so I decided to update it, and after my first logging out and back in, everything was going great, except there were not menu bar icons. The apple, the program name, file, edit, view, they were all there. I'm talking about the right side. Everything was gone except for spotlight. SOO, I freak out. Trying to move the Menu Extras and such. I go into system preferences, and on some settings like Airport, I would click "show Airport in menu bar". It would show the check mark. It didn't appear, and I've tried on some other settings, and I would click it, the checkmark would flash, and then it would disappear. I've tried clicking on the space where the menu button should be, and nothing happens. Actually, I've tried clicking the whole menu bar, nothing that should be there...is. Eventually, I gave up, and decided to take the backup files of the Extras, Bin file thing, and the Menu Extras, and just go default.

When I had logged back in, to my horror, it looked default except for, you guessed it, the menu extra icons. Apparently, I've done something wrong, and it's not any of the files faults. Apparently, some OTHER file is screwed up. Not the Extras, BIN file, and Menu Extras. So, I assume, if i'm going to be menu button-less, then it should at least be with a cool menu bar.

After some toying around a bit, ( with my black menu bar ), I double click one of the extras files. I clicked the Airport.menu ( extras file ). The Airport thing showed up! Only problem, the setting error ( the one where I click it, and the check shows up for a second, and disappears again ) still occurs. I thought "screw it, ill last." So I start clicking the menu files, which one I want. Accidentally, I clicked the eject one, and I can't get rid of it ( no pref pane for it in system prefs ). I thought it looked cool, and kept with it. And then I clicked the date. ( By the way, the date and time setting was the one that had the checkmark bug ). I clicked it two times, and for some weird reason. There are two dates now on my menu bar, and since I can't unclick the setting, I am very screwed.

Here's a screenshot.



So, can someone help me out with this? I don't know what to do, replace the prefpanes for my System Preferences, or fresh install Snow Leopard, which would be the biggest pain in the ass right now. I have so much stuff to back up it's not even funny. Please help, thank you.

PS I think I've made the longest mad post in this forum. Correct me if I'm wrong, which I'm expecting to happen. Nevermind, this is barely anything. And I thought I wrote a lot.

 

I did backup before I did anything, it's just the files I backed up, I guess weren't the ones having the problem. Hmm, well I guess it's off to a fresh install. =[

Right after I fixed my other problem too.

 

...you totally saved my ass man. THANK YOU. Just got back from school, and was praying that someone would post something else. Thank you man. I also remembered, that I could go into a new guest account, and see their preference files, or their system prefs, and replace mine. Do you guys know where the pref-panes for System Prefs is?
