    Sex:
    Thank-you very much for the replies.

    For anyone else who like me a bit overwhelmed and finds it hard to get clear answers using google / forum searches I have posted what i did for a matrix looking theme (also old amstrad WP - I find green on black easier on my eyes) with links:-

    THEME

    https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/72255-Windows-10-Black-Edition-for-Windows-10-Anniversary-Update-aka-Redstone-One

    I have only used so far:-
    To allow custom themes:- https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread...hlight=ultraux
    As per MR Grims themes post:- https://tihiy.net/files/OldNewExplorer.rar
    Remove extra folders:- https://media.askvg.com/downloads/201...10-This-PC.zip

    ICONS

    Watch tutorial & d/l here :- https://mrbladedesigns.com/ipack-builder/

    extract the .res files:-

    https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/44360-7tsp-Icon-Packs-For-Windows-7?highlight=green+glass+icon

    I used all the res files except for the shell32.dll.res (windows 7 icons guessing this could cause problems from what i could read)

    Problem:-

    Icons for HDD are standard and unchanged, back to google and forum searches which priovided me with registary 'hacks' both of which did not work for me (reverted back to standard icons)

    Having done this I then read Shemhamforash thread post reply, and now understanding icon.exe files (having used ipack) I uninstalled my currant windows 7 icons and applied hoping this would fix my HDD icon error:-

    https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/71241-Full-Glass-Green-iPack

    Still same problem.

    Being a fresh day I have now found:-

    https://external.informer.com/leelusoft.blogspot.ro/2008%2F10%2Fmy-drive-icon-10.html

    sucess.

    So thank you all for your help and themes/customisation and running this forum - so wish I had read the post about holding the 'cntrl' key down at boot when getting flashing screen after 'updating' to windows 10 1607 as I was running windows aero glass, I re-installed completely but it led me to MR Grimms post and here
