what exactly is the problem? what happened? this type of question really needs some details.

if your on xp this shouldn't be a problem at all.
open taskmgr (Ctrl-alt-del) check the proccess tab if litestep is still running end process or end process tree(i prefer end process tree).goto File, new task... run LS.

if this fails to bring LS up goto file, new task... again run explorer goto the to LS dir run the "switch to default theme.ink" or in the utilities dir setshell.exe

hope this helps

Uhm,sorry, but I don't think that'll be of any help at all....
As he says, he's on another account (so no LiteStep loaded, and thus no LiteStep to Kill Process) and he already uninstalled (deleted?) LiteStep (probably the entire LiteStep directory...)
I'm guessing here, but there'll probably be a registry key or something he'll have to change so it says 'Explorer.exe' once again :)

all he has to do is login to that account :P and then reinstall or just run setshell you can still get to taskmgr even if no shell is running.
