Help! I broke it!

[wfbberzerker]

I wanted a new desktop, so I tried downloading Litestep, and installed it and it worked. But, I didnt like it, so I wanted to uninstall it. I ran the uninstall program, it uninstalled and told me it was ok to reboot and remove the folder, but when i reboot, i get my desktop and nothing else! help me!

How about Safe Mode and reinstall LiteStep to see if you get the desktop back....

Did you accidently remove explorer.exe? If so, replace it.

i think explorer.exe is there, but when i run it, it justs opens up the actual windows explorer, and doesnt give me back my desktop!

Do you just see the background and no icons? It may be a problem with your explorer.exe. But first look elsewhere, it may not be that serious.

Go do ctrl-alt-del.. run regedit... find every instance of litestep.. if it says "shell" then change it to explorer.exe .. I made the same mistake..


litestep... never again

hit control alt delete. I think you do new task. just type c:\

this should bring up a folder, and if your lucky everything else. let me know

I did that both times i tried litestep. I had to boot to DOS with a 95 boot disk(i ran ME at the time) and edit an ini file to get explorer running again. The funny part is that i was talking to a friend who told me how fix it on aim since it started automatically
