I am a COMPLETE noob in this LiteStep shell i am wondering how do i switch to the old right click medhod such as: When right clicking on the wallpaper choosing new -> Folder. Wich lets me make new folder, gives me access to desktop properties screensaver, wallpaper etc... How do i change the mouse config so i can do that in litestep, because i think that litestep is much better than the old explorer shell :D this is the only thing that i find very annoying.

Sorry my bad english ;)

well... for the display properties part, you can do somethign like
;popup.rc
;--------
*Popup "Display Properties" "c:\windows\system32\desk.cpl"


to make a new folder is more complicated, but you can do it through a batch file, like
rem createfolder.bat
rem ----------------
@echo off
cd\"%1"
md "New Folder"

;popup.rc
;--------
*Popup "New Folder" '$path_to_createfolder$createfolder.bat "$Desktop$"'

So, I should just open Notepad and set this "rem createfolder.bat
rem ----------------
@echo off
cd"%1"
md "New Folder"
" text into notepad and save as createfolder.bat k i c ? ;D

Are you kidding me! That is soooo much not easier than explorer.exe's right click and new! If I wanted to spend any time configuring my interface to do what it should do instead of writing real code, I'd use Linux! Build it into the interface already!
