I have a strange problem in that when i click on a menu shortcut, eg: rightclick/litestep/litestepfolder I get a error msg and the the explorer taskbar shows up at the bottom of the screen.
The error msg says, "Windows cannot find '/e,"c:\litestep\", Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
And after this has happend, my litestep is completely frozen until i end the explorer process.
I have only noticed this problem today, and it does it on any theme.
Is ther a simple solution? I hope so!
btw ive virus checked, no viruses ;)
Also, ive been using litestep a few months now without this happening before.

Are you using an OTS2 format theme? I wonder if your FileManager evar is not being set correctly. You should have a line in your personal evars.rc folder that looks like this:
FileManager "explorer.exe"
.
The fact that the taskbar shows up makes me think that explorer *is* being run, but it's not getting those arguments, and for some reason is it starting as the shell rather than the file manager. Did you install (or uninstall) any other software just before this started happening?
