Use hidden international wallpapers and themes in Windows 7
When you first install Windows 7, it asks for your language, time and
currency. Based on your responses, it installs a set of wallpapers and
themes. If you choose English (United States) for your time and currency
format, for example, the available desktop backgrounds and themes will
include a United States section with scenery from locations such as
Maine, the Southwest and so on.
Hidden, though, are background scenery and themes from other
English-speaking countries -- Australia, Canada, Great Britain and South
Africa. Normally, you can't access those backgrounds or themes, but
there is a simple way you can install and use them:
1. In the search box in the Start menu, type
C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT and press Enter. (Note: If Windows 7 is installed in a drive other than C:, use that letter instead.)
2. Windows Explorer will launch and show you a list of sub-folders under
C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT:
MCT-AU, MCT-CA, MCT-GB, MCT-US, and MCT-ZA. Each sub-folder has
wallpapers for a specific country: AU for Australia, CA for Canada, GB
for Great Britain, US for the United States, and ZA for South Africa.
For any of the countries whose wallpaper and themes you want to use, go into its Theme folder, for example,
C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT\MCT-ZA\Theme. Double-click the theme you see there (for example ZA).
3. That will install a shortcut to the theme and wallpapers in the Personalization section of Control Panel.
You can now use them as you would any other theme or background, by
right-clicking the desktop, choosing Personalize, and choosing a
background or theme. They will be listed in their own section.
