I've run into this problem on 2k, home and pro, and I've found that the easiest way around this problem is to open evars.rc in your personal directory and change your file manager to be iexplorer.exe... ie is the same program as explorer.exe, if you want it to act like explorer, then just change it to how explorer looks and use tools->folder options and set it to apply to all folders in the view tab... this works for every machine I've installed litestep on (like 12 or 13 machines...) so I would think that means that this is pretty reliable.
