Funny you should ask, I was trying to find a theme I had just saved today,
it was in:
C:\Users\jeff\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Them es

you'll need to substitute your user name for mine.

There's no choice as to where you save them now so policies of not keeping
any data on the 'C' drive are starting to break down. I also found they
don't show up in a search from Explorer (using *.theme), goodness knows why.

Thanks Jeff
I mean't the themes already in Wndows 7. I cannot find them.
I'm trying to find the Canadian themes( the folder they are in)
You are right about saved themes.
C:\Users\Hugh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Them es.

If you use the Personalization in Control Panel and click the link "Get more
themes online" you can get the Canadian themes there amongst a large number
of new ones.

Or go directly to the link...

3. Click on the Desktop background link at the bottom.
4. Click on the Browse button, and select pictures you want to add to your

I guess I am struggling with this endeavor. I could increase the number of
pictures in the japan theme. then I wanted to make a family theme. and a
saint theme. and I wasn't able to cleanly construct a theme and have it so
I could mail it to my son-in-law who just got windows 7 also. does the
32/64 bit method affect the theme if I make it on my x64 windows ultimate?
I could not find c:\users\charlie\app data. app data was not indicated.
might need to show hidden files? searched for a way to do that but could
not find any thing like tools like in XP. should I start a new thread on
this? thanks, charlie
