Thanks... i think you interpreted what i meant quite well...

i will look into maybe just switching back to using winamp(does litestep work with the newest version of winamp or do I need to switch back to winamp 2.x????

it has been almost 3 years since i used litestep last... and now i am trying to get back into it... but now litestep protects a lot of it's files by nexting RC files inside other rc files..... so i am having a hard time getting back into it...

i am used to the old style where we had like a total of maybe 10 or so rc files to edit... mostly just step and personal

thanks... Paul
