hi i just have a small question, i just started using litestep and i was wondering if there is anyway to change the dir that opens when you select file manager in the popup menu, none of my stuff is in my documents and it would be very useful if i could change it. I've searched a few forums but i cant find any answers. Any help much appreciated, Kempy :)

try editing the .rc files in the theme directory... should be able to change it that way... the commands to open different folders in explorer.exe as a file manager can be kinda strange sometimes though.

not sure how this will format in this forum, but my prefered command to open explorer is:

"$WinDir$\explorer.exe" /e,/root,,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

enjoy.

as ceeslans said, if you define your filemanager as explorer, then modify the starting point (in your evars.rc) it will open in the specified area.
