Skins that remove the ads with option are not accepted in the database. So skins need to have .reg files. If the skin doesn't have a .reg file in its directory, then there is no way to remove them using this skin.
It's not the .reg file which removes it. The .reg file is simply a handy trick used by skin developers to make removing ads possible for regular users.

Some skins have a hidden option to remove ads which is turned off by default and can only be turned on by making the registry keys yourself. Instead of opening regedit and modifying the registry yourself, a .reg file with the keys in it can add those, which makes it easier for those who want to remove the ads.

The reason why this works is because the skin creator adds a special condition in the UIFILE which will only be triggered when this hidden option is activated, and therefore a .reg file is useless when the skin's UIFILEs don't have such condition tags. You can do it yourself, of course, since skins are open source, however it'll require a good knowledge of UIFILEs so you can find what you want to change.

So, in order to remove the ads, the creator has to add a hidden feature in the skin or you'll have to modify the UIFILEs yourself. :P
