when i try to open the file manager in LS
it loads the explorer.exe the first time
later i try to open file manager again
it will load the explorer shell

im using w2k
any suggestion on how to just open the file manager without loading the explorer shell????

ls installers have spoiled me enough not to remember what registry magic was needed to avoid such situations.. the bottom line being: use one of them to install the shell than just put your config in place again.

ok there are more threads on this than i can count. please look around a little before you post a question.
