I've used Litestep for so long that I have forgotten how to get the regular windows interface back. The cable guy is coming when I won't be here to set up a modem on my machine, but I don't think having Litestep running will help that. So I just need things to look "normal" temporarily. I'm running Win2k pro.

Thanks!!

well, you can set up another user for him to log on with. litestep (by default at least) is only set as the shell for the user logged on at the time of installation. or, you can get a shell switcher.

perhaps you should get a shell switcher, here's a nice thread...

Hm. He'd probably need admin rights to install anything anyway, so you don't want him using "Guest". You're still braver than I am, i wouldn't have anyone using my box if i weren't there next to them. But i'd say either do what deuce said, or use "litestep.exe -uninstall", or just do a search in the registry for "litestep.exe" and replace it with "explorer.exe" (i think that'll work)

pika, correct answer, but wrong situation. He's only looking for a way to temporarily switch back to explorer so the cable guy can use his computer without him being there. Granted, you could switch the registry entries back to litestep, or re-install after uninstalling, but it seems like overkill to me.

meh, "litestep.exe -uninstall" and then "litestep.exe -install" aren't that bad. about all it does is ask you a couple of questions and then change the registry entries for you. normally i'd agree with you about the overkill, but i use "-install" and "-uninstall" so much i've made shortcuts to them in my ls directory. it's never been that much of a hassle for me.

You could use two .reg files. For example my explorer.reg looks like this:
You'll also need a similar litestep.reg of course. =)
