Hey everyone, Here is a random one for you. I really like the icons for Mac OSX El Capitan, and someone has created Windows versions (.ico files) In the registry, I have changed it so that when a new folder is created, it will use the new icon. That part is fine. The issue I am having is, I tried it for "open folder" icons as well, but to no avail. I can go through and do it manually, but that would take so long. Is there an easy way to get around this? Completely wired and random, but I like messing around with user tweaks, if I'm using my computer all the time, I want it to look the way I want it to. (P.S. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, if that makes any difference) Thanks for your help!

You're suggesting a quick fix by removing the Windows icon file and replacing it with a Mac version.

Attempted, but the standard icons are stored in a .dll file, which is not ideal. Appreciate the feedback!
