LiteStep Help

Hey all, I need some help with LiteStep.
I want to continue using explorer as my FIle Manager, but I want it so that when I click File Explorer on my popup2.dll it goes to this:
http://www3.telus.net/modder/screenshot.jpg
Instead of the silly explorer bar on the side and when you click a folder it opens in a new window...
I tried making the file manager Internet Explorer, but I can't seem to set my home page as My Computer, this would work if I could make the hompage or whatever page IE starts on My Computer.
Is there a way to specify which page a IE starts at without making it your homepage, maybe like this:
iexplore -My Computer??
I also tried making a .lnk of my computer and setting that as my file manager but it didn't work.
Any one able to help?

Use that link to My Computer and apply this (?): http://www.activewin.com/tips/reg/desktop_5.shtml

I did what that said, but I don't see the effect... When I open My Computer now it looks the same? Maybe I mis-understood what it's supposed to do. I don't think LiteStep supports .lnk files in it's Environment Variables?

Use this:
explorer.exe /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Should work, it's a variation of what I used to use in LS.
You can also use iexplore.exe if you like, like this:
iexplore.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Both ways give you exactly the same result.

This works in my popup:
*Popup "My Computer" explorer $drives$

But the stuff you said didn't? Maybe a restrcition on my windows?

Try it from the Run line and see what you get. If it works there, but not in LS... hmm, weird.

Maybe I'm just confused - what exactly do you want to happen when you click the File Manager in your Popup?

Oh no you understand.
I ran it in the command line, and it does what it's supposed to. It must be a quirk in LS or something with the build I'm runing.

You can add parameters to the command line to set it. I think /w should do it. That will open a normal window.

Man... I forget that M$ merged thier filer accessor with thier file mannager. >.< That's what causes this pain in the neck. C'est la vie.
