Thank you I did come across this but was unsure as it got hacked and a few got malware from the fake .exe file put in it's place. But if you say it is safe? I will give it a go thank you.

Never come across that HolyCowZ and rest assured i would never suggest anything remotely suspect, my feet wouldn't touch if I did

@Phillpower lol I know you wouldn't be malicious I was not sure if you had seen the info on the hacked site thats all just double checking being careful. Thank you.

 

 

@freebooter thank you for the info I'll take a look.

Glad to hear that HolyCowZ, don`t go near hacked sites and tbh not sure why Classic Shell would be on such a site being that it is freeware.

How are things going with this HolyCowZ, an update would be appreciated.

[HolyCowZ]

update here.. sorry Phillpower

I did it manually in the end changed what I needed  till it was more user friendly and am still playing with a demo version before doing the main pc. It seems that windows 10 is much better now the new version they added to download to runs much smoother than when it first came out. It may yet be the best windows ever, I hated it at first.

One thing I have found is chkdsk does give faulty reading if the drive has a few bad sectors that's all i found wrong so far.

I'm waffling all is well Phill thank you your help is much appreciated

[phillpower2]

No worries HolyCowZ, thank you for the feedback 

 

Glad you like Windows 10, more people are becoming user friendly towards it.

Not sure what you mean by any faulty reading but if there are bad sectors on a HDD chkdsk should flag them up, that is part of its purpose.

 

You are welcome btw 

[HolyCowZ]

Chdsk doesn't show them says it's all fine but vista and linux show's  them up.
