You don't 'need' to install LiteSTEP at all....all you need is to install ShellON as a shell manager and copy some files into a LiteSTEP directory, and, if it all goes pear-shaped, well, the Shell manager will let you back to Exploder painlessly.

No need for System Restore....no need to Re-Install Windows....no need to tear hair out.

I can't say it's 'idiot-proof', though....past history proves otherwise...

For God's sake don't reinstall Windows. Try this (this assumes you've installed Windows in the default folder, if not change the path accordingly):

1. Reboot into DOS mode and type "edit c:\windows\system.ini" {without the quotes).
2. Find the line in the [boot] section that says shell=c:\path\to\whatever.exe
3. Replace shell=c:\path\to\whatever.exe with c:\windows\explorer.exe the line should now read shell=c:\windows\explorer.exe.
5. Save the file and close the editor.
4. Reboot.

Everything should now be fine.

Item 3. should read:

3. Replace c:\path\to\whatever.exe with c:\windows\explorer.exe the line should now read shell=c:\windows\explorer.exe.

jcg...loved the numbering...

That line only needs to be 'Shell=explorer.exe"...the Windows kernel 'knows' where explorer.exe is...the path is redundant...

Snowman: if you want to run HoverDesk as shell and not as desktop replacement, you´ll have to exactly the same things as with LiteStep. if you want a system tray HVD will even become a little more complicated as you will need a third party app for this. check the HVD helpfile for more info.
