Tips Access Hidden Themes in Windows 7



Windows 7 offers you location specific Aero themes based on the language and location you pick during installation.  Here we will take a look at accessing other hidden themes from different countries.

When you first start the Windows 7 installation the first thing you will do is select a language, time and currency format.  This is where Windows determines what themes you’re presented with by default.





  •  To access the other international themes copy and paste the following path into the search box and hit  Enter.


                                                C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT




  • In the MCT folder you will find additional themes for Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Great Britain.





  • You can go in and grab just the Wallpapers…




  • Or go into the Theme folder double click on the the thumbnail to add it. 





  • Here you can see I added all of them and now they will be available under the My Themes section for when you want to change them around.



This is a neat little trick that will let you customize Windows 7 with hidden themes already available.
