OK, I've got it. Re-installing works, but only because the short-cut changes. I wondered why I got a new icon on the taskbar when I installed 4.0.7 the first time, but having never re-installed before nothing more occurred to me.
When I re-installed again (but allowing the skin mode) it gave me another new icon. So I looked in the MM folder, and low and behold there are two executables. One called 'MediaMonkey.exe' and the other called 'MediaMonkey (non-skinned).exe', and sure enough they do exactly what they say they will.
If you pin the non-skinned version to the win7 taskbar you will always open it, and since win7 has a habit of hiding the actual shortcuts from you, you may never notice. Perhaps a short explanation of this should go in brackets next to the option?
