well a funny thing happend, i could get into dos from my bootable cd. The only prob is when i installed the new litestep shell, i must of messed the file name up, cuz it said error loggin shell. So i had to totally restore my comp . I couldnt get edit to work in dos from the boot like i thought it would,ve. well i guess i still wanna find a way to change my shell, but this time i wanna make sure i can change it from startup.

Talor....my 'Jafo' LiteSTEP theme on WinCusto has LiteSPAWN included....it is a shell manager for 9x/2K/Me/NT....if you run it...it asks if you want it to be your shell....just click yes, and it will correct the system.ini for you...

Then it will give you the choice of loading LiteSTEP or Explorer....it's what I use...and quite painless, too...

Damn....Ignore that....I thought it did....I must have too many themes...I know one of them I upped somewhere had it.
Anyway, If you want it, I can email it or ICQ...whatever...it isn't all that big...
