Although there are already several different transparency and wallpaper options available for the Aero Theme within Windows 7, there are several global options that are hidden by default.  These include specialized themes for the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and South Africa.  The following explains how to utilize these hidden themes:

  1. Navigate to Computer/Local Disk (C:)/Windows/Globalization
  2. The folder in question is hidden by default, so click on the ‘Organize’ dropdown tab and select ‘Folder and Search Options’
  3. Click on the View Tab and select the radio button that says ‘Show hidden files, folders, and drives’
  4. A folder entitled ‘MCT’ should appear, and within it contain five folders, which correspond with the themes available for the corresponding country
  5. Selecting, for example, MCT-AU, and opening the Theme folder within, double-clicking ‘AU.theme’ will both apply this theme and all wallpapers to your theme menu
  6. After applying the themes, consider hiding the hidden files to prevent ‘desktop.ini’ files from showing on your desktop.
