i searched for this btw....

i got litestep, had a blast, but it wasnt for me. after numurous atempts at changing the theme, and installing a new indie i found taht my lazy ass is gonna hvae to learn more about how it works before i begin to play with it.

i then decided to delete it. ok cool, im working with the taskmanager as my only means of looking at whats goin on. i delete litestep via uninstaller, and unistall everything.

i reboot my computer, and my screen is all gray and no explorer. nothing. i then remember that litestep said taht it would load explorer......hmmmm.

thinking it could be a mfae (microsoft f***ed again error) i loaded up talisman, my only means of a secondary shell. now i notice (since talisman works on top of explorer) my windows i downsize just hover in a neat little box in talisman.....

would someone please help me get back to the normal explorer shell?? i love this community, and its not that i dont like litestep, its that im just to lazy to use it.... someone please help.

Knowing what operating system your on is critical. I think youll either need to edit system.ini or make some registry changes, dont know why the uninstaller didnt do it though...

C:\Windows\Explorer.exe is where mine is.

ok, anyone who doesn't even know where explorer is, REALLY shouldn't be running litestep in the first place.

generally speaking, windows already knows where explorer is. you should just be able to put in "explorer.exe", i think.
