renaming DB tables for compatibility?

[mzimmers]

You can always run patches via phpMyAdmin... just remember to edit in the zen_ prefix where necessary... This will ONLY be on the table name, NOT the field names within a table.

eg:
products (table) becomes...

zen_products (table)

products_id (field so NO prefix)

I could do that, I guess. Wouldn't it seem a better long-term fix, though, to strip out those prefixes from the DB? I don't even remember making them, let alone why I would do that, and they don't seem to be necessary.

If that's not a good idea, though, I'll try to edit the patch file.

Thanks.

Edit: I just discovered another issue: under the Configuration menu, I now have a bunch of Zen Lightbox entries, presumably from the bad installation attempts. How do I get rid of those?
