Lo, Just came back to litestep after not using it for years... I'm trying to get explorer to open to c: by default so i edited the evars.rc with the appropriate code:

"C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,C:"

For some reason litestep doesn't see this as a valid program call. Can anyone help?

well, first of all, you would have to do:
"c:\windows\explorer.exe" /n /e c:
-or just:
"c:\windows\explorer.exe" c:
Switches need to be outside of quotes, otherwise it's actually trying to start the file named "explorer.exe /n /e c:" located in c:\windows. However, you can't put that in as an evar (evar's can't contain switches, only the actual program path). Where are you trying to use this, a popup, shortcut, label, or something else?
