Where can I find the various pictures of each theme in Windows 7? I know where all the regional themes are, but I do not know where the Architectural, Character, and Landscape theme pictures are.

I want to take all the pictures, move them to a folder in "pictures", and use every single one of the pictures as a theme slide show for my desktop background.

  • @soandos Not the same case. This is one step deeper, examining the theme files.

  • @soandos The .theme and .msstyle files are located in %SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes but the wallpapers are not. This question is specifically about said wallpapers.

  • @iglvzx, the .theme files can be unpacked to give the pictures, but I see your point.

If you take a look at the .theme files in %SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes, you can find the wallpaper referenced under [Control Panel\Desktop]. The root folder for these wallpapers is: %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper\.

Note: %SystemRoot%\ will generally be C:\Windows\.

    %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper\ Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for. I have been searching everywhere, but I was always told to go to the MCT file or to "search on google." You are the first helpful person. :D

  • @soandos , iglvzx was more accurate because this was a quicker method. Unpacking and all that actually would take longer and it is more complicated for me. By the way, do I need to close this question now? Or do I just leave it as is?
