I am still getting the Desktop.ini files poping open upon boot. One more thing. Arent't the browser windows suppose to take on the look of the theme? They still look like Explorer windows. But I've changed all registry entries, except the one I posted above. It's not in the regedit listing. It's running with out Explorer.exe showing up in the Taskmanger. Thanks

Jafo, Thanks..I've read threw the 2k directions. The problem with WinXP is that not all of the REg. entries are listed, liek this one.. HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BrowseNewProcess Might not be needed. I have adjusted the things you pasted there. Now to reboot. Thanks again.
OMG! I think I found it! The WinXP Shell Settings in the Registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Winlogon\ Shell: REG_SZ explorer.exe That look right? If so, might want to post it some place on the next Litestep builds.
No, in WinXP there is no HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\"Windows NT"\Current Version\Winlogon I checked...and tried... On WinXP it has in the reg. Windows 3.1 xxx and nothing about Winlogon... I'm searching the registry for anything that looks like what you posted. Geez, the things I go threw just to have a Dual Processor machine..
I tried that LSDistro. I got further with the LiteStep Beta. And the same errors. Umm...The Registry changes, are they documented in the help files? I read those, but it sounded that they were only need for multi-users. THe issue I am having now with LSDistro is it is having trouble finding the modules... I changed the scripts to point in the right dir. But still the same errors....I'll play around with it a little more, maybe I'll stumble accross the problem... T
Hello... I am a new member to the site. And I would like to say it is an excelent site at that. My friends and I run a pritty smoth web server/host. http://home.dod.net Have you considered setting up your own web server box with a 1.5MB DSL line? It's not alot of over head.
I found something that might be usefull to WinXP users. TweakXP http://www.totalidea.de/frameset-tweakxp.htm It says you can change the start button/options and make the task bar transparent. There might be hope... It also sounds like a childs tool... Can't realy change the Explorer look and feel.. I'm going to keep searching for a solution... I want LiteStep.
If I reboot I get 2 text windows that popup.. They are the Desktop.ini in the windows dir.. They read like this.. [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787 There making a call to shell32.dll, port 21787 And if I try to access my C:\ litestep crashes and Explorer takes over for file managing. Any want to let me know what script I need to edit? I've check the scripts and made sure the dir. were right... system.ini doesn't
Ya..I do..I just ran 3 miles..It's my second time running in 5 years... I am in pain...
Thanks alot for your input. I'm currently working on a GUI to customize my own.
LoL China. All my friends are Linux freeks, but I am a gamer. I am running a dual PIII 800MHZ over clocked to 1.02GHz with 1+ Gig of ram. When my freinds see my system next time I want them to think I am using Linux like a god. So I need an Explorer.exe editor or replacement that I can remove the task bar and start menu and change the GUI.
I am using WinXP, what is the best Explorer.exe replacement complient to WinXP. And doesn't suck up resources.
