Well I downloaded Litestep to customize my desktop and I was downloading different themes and now it seems one of the themes screwed up my own account the computer. See what happens is when I go to log in the screen get's smaller than my normal resolution then I just the little hourglass appear. I mean nothing freezes and if I end the litestep process It lets me inside my account but I can't do anything inside it. I mean I can't open my Start menu or even open the Run window by using a shortcut, so I could restore to a certain point. Also another problem I have of this is that my account is also the Administrator account and I really can't do anything to fix it. So what can I do to get rid of this program so that I can have my own account back to normal?

Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up task manager, then click File and New Task (Run). Browse to your litestep folder and run the program called SetShell. Click the explorer button and then reboot. You should be back into explorer again.

Is it XP your using?
If so...
Try ctrl+alt+del then click on file and select New Task (Run...) and then just type in C: or whateva to get explorer open. That should head you in right direction.
