I figured it couldn't be lightstep from the recycle bin, lol.

Uneditable as in LiteStep\themes\austerity\config\quicklaunch_icons.rc "Access Denied."
Which I'm sure isn't the file I need to edit anyway, the only others are:

quicklaunch_bot.ini
quicklaunch_top.ini
quicklaunch.png
quicklaunch_actual.png
quicklaunch_icons.png

That's all that's on my comp.

West: Dictionary.com -> Horror novelest?
Litestep my already be operating in the ethereal, lol. j/k
