Default Titanium Backup to system app

The Titanium Backup Pro-version has an option to change application status from a user app to a system app and vice versa. But how can I make a TB itself into a system app? I want to do this in case of need for system factory reset. I had to factory reset my phone just a couple of hours ago, because I got it stuck so bad that I had to pull the battery out of it and when it restarted it had forgotten all the defaults and when asked about a launcher i chose Zeam and automaticly checked the option that said "use as default". Zeam then forceclosed and forceclosed and fc,fc,fc.... So basically I couldn't get anywhere. I managed to close phone and restart it, but now it remembered the defaults and opened Zeam force closing it time after another. I closed the phone again and went to CMW-recovery and wiped the caches and made a factory reset (maybe not a smartest solution, but I couldn't think of anything else). And then when opening the phone I noticed that some apps (E-mail, file manager, Talk, etc..) that aren't included in the custom ROM (void. (2.2.2; #eridanus)) but ones I had backupped from previous ROM and transfered to this were automaticly included, because when backupped, were saved as system apps and installed automaticly as such. So I went to Market and bought a Pro-version of TB and set some other apps(SlideIt keyboard) as a system ones in case I screw the phone up again, but I cant figure out how to make TB a system app itself, since then I wouldn't even have to go to Market to restore my phone in case of another factory reset.

All of the apps you downloaded will almost always placed in the folder /data/app Just use root explorer to copy the apk files there to a safe place for backup. The system apps will also be loaded during start up. They are located in /system/app You can read more in this forum in order to help yourself make progress in the learning path.

Have you tried Links2SD, it also has super powers similar to Titanium Backup, and will allow you to change it from a system app to an user app, and then to uninstall it completely.
