>change the icont for Explorer... folders, control panel, etc.. everything

I believe that litestep has nothing to do. If iconphile did the work without LS, the it should work also with litestep. The definition of those special folder icons are on the windows registry (some on desktop.ini files), and LS doesn't change/block that in any way.

A long long time ago I used E-Icons to do that kind of customization, maybe it helps you.
