As of now, I don't have my Xbox networked to my PC, and everytime I try burning a skin to a CD-RW data disc my thompson doesn't read it. Is there any way I can burn the skin onto a CD/DVD and have my Xbox recognize it in the "File Explorer"?

Try burning it every way possible on as many different brands of media possible. When I had my Thomson it would only read on a certain brand of CD-rw burned only with Stomp RNM. I'm not certain what disc formatts UX file explorer supports but if you can't get the disc to show up in there also try boXplorer, or DVD2XBOX HDbrowser, or Avalaunch Filemanager and see if those will read it. Most likely it will be an issue with media as I think all the file explorers pretty much handle all the discs the same way.

Thanks for the advice, Avalunch FileManager was able to explore it... but how do I move the skin folder to "uSkins"?

Btw, I'm using a Memorex CD-RW
