Thread: Access Hidden Regional Themes in Windows 7

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

Once you start the Windows 7 installation the first thing you will perform is choose a language, time and currency format. This is where Windows find out what themes you are presented with by default.



Being from the US I am presented with place particular themes from the United States with desktop backgrounds such as scenery from Maine, Idaho, Oregon etc.



Copy and paste the following path into the search box and hit Enter, to access the other international themes.

C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT



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

You can go in and take just the Wallpapers…



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



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



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