If you go to: C:\Users\<User>\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

you'll find the themes, however I don't think the pictures are stored there. I'll have do some snoopin around on my puter to find where those are and post a follow-up, unless someone hopefully beats me to it Smile

Re: Where does Windows 7 store its themes?

Themes are in C: Windows --> Resources --> Themes. Not sure where individual backgrounds are kept.
Individual wallpapers are in C: Windows--> Web --> Wallpapers.

Looks like the path I mentioned only stores the custom theme(s) there.

C:\Users\    users  name          \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
there are two locations that you need to alter for some setting changes, but this is where you would put new themes- you can also download themes direct to the themes folder using the desktop personalisation function.
