I have LiteStep running as my shell and was surprised to see explorer.exe still hogging memory...isnt the point of LiteStep to replace it? Do I have something misconfigured?

TIA,

Explorer is also used as a file manager. Replace it with other file manager - you can find some of them in "File managment replacements" topic .

Ah, good point, I didnt think of that. Its not a big deal if its just the file manager, I thought it was the explorer shell still running..Thanks!
