  How to Access Your Hidden Windows 7 Regional Themes The Easy Way

  Windows Updates No Comments
  You can use a small trick to customize Windows 7 with the available hidden themes. Windows 7 has Aero themes which are location specific and can be based on the location and language that you pick.
  When you first start your Windows 7 installation, you will have to select the time, language, and currency format. Windows uses this set of information to determine what themes should go with such selections by default.
  For you to access the other international themes, you need to copy and paste this into your search box and hit search: C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT

  

   

  The MCT folder will give you additional themes for Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and South Africa.

  You have another option by going to the Theme folder. Double click on the thumbnail for you to be able to add it. If you want to change your themes around, you can always see them underneath the My Themes section.

   

  

  There are many more themes available from the downloads section of the Microsoft website.
