Mr. White:
Probably the best idea - I'm just poking around the dusty corners and seeing what happens, though, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has been down this path.

Deuce:
I'm the latest and greatest indie build - but yea, point taken. The implication of the "Explorer" button on the LSTS UI would seem to be that you could switch shells on the fly without too much trouble. I was interested to see whether I just didn't know the magic steps to take, or whether it really is an iffy proposition

eman:
Personally, I get unpredictable behavior upon trying to execute LSTS after switching from Litestep to Explorer as the shell. I can tell that this isn't something I'm going to be pursuing, since switching to Explorer from LiteStep is essentially invoking another instance of Explorer and Explorer Shell complains bitterly when it tries to start up a number of applications (they're already running, after all :)

Thanks for the input, all. I'm sure I'll have more questions as the week drags on (and I do my best to avoid doing actual work)

Prospero
