Whenever i launch "file manager" from within litestep (pointing to c:\winnt\explorer.exe) it relaunches the explorer shell aswell, bringing back the windows task bar and reloading the entire explorer shell. I even tried running explorer with the /E switch, no joy. Anyone know what causes this?

yes. Windows2000 is NT 5.0, WindowsXP is NT 5.1. it will work exactly the same.

There is also galois' shell installer around (http://www.shellfront.org/utils/win2kinstaller.zip). That usually fixes the problem if you can't. Using something like ShellOn can help as well.

none of that worked.. I've edited the registry before and nothing came of it :( Seems to work fine on my home PC, but not here, although I do have admin rights on this machine. Odd... But thinking back, it used to work.. hrmmmm anyhows.. thanks for all the [quick] help

Try to install litestep for all users.
Litestep.exe -install...
"yes", "yes", "yes"...
If you really need some users to use the explorer shell... Humm, try another filemanager. I recommend Directory Opus...
