U sure your shell is set to explorer? What windows is it?
That's normal, explorer won't launch as a shell unless it is set as the shell.
Thats what I figured, however when I reset my shell to explorer it still only comes up as a file manager
Did you log out, and then in again, as the set shell util asks you to?
(I know it's not always needed, but it seems sometimes you have to do that)
Of course, by the way I should mention, I use two user accounts.
One for testing one for dev.
You don't have to logout/login after the shell switch.
I just have to kill my litestep with
taskkill /f /im litestep.exe
then switch the shell in the registry back to explorer.exe and launch it.
Actually DJ Barney mentioned something about this in #litestep yesterday. Check the value of this regkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\SeparateProcess
Do you have it at 1 or 0?
Yes, that's right, at least according to some testing on my system that showed that this reg key determines if explorer runs as shell or just opens a file manager window. Defined here.
EDIT: Remember to use the "Set Litestep as shell" shortcut FIRST otherwise this might not work (the reg key depends on the reg keys set by that shorcut)
