You do not have to get into Safe Mode to uninstall LiteStep...heck you don't even need a shell loaded in XP/2K/NT to do it. After you delete it you don't even need a reboot. However...your answer had nothing to do with the question so we digress.
You say when you try and switch back to the default windows theme you get the error. However...do you mean when you try and switch to explorer you get the error, because that I don't think would be possible, or do you mean you are installing a LiteStep theme that looks like explorer. If you are doing the later of the two it means you didn't boot directly into LiteStep. Once you boot right into LS, instead of starting it from explorer and killing explorer, $LiteStepDir$ will get set for the app looking for it and you should be fine.
