Access Hidden Themes & Wallpapers in Windows 7


Windows 7 has hidden Themes and wallpapers.Normally, you can't access those backgrounds or themes, though, are background scenery and themes from other English-speaking countries -- Australia, Canada, Great Britain and South Africa., but there is a simple way you can install and use them.

Here are The Steps..

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 the respective drive letter instead.)

2. Windows Explorer will launch and show you a list of subfolders

3. Under C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT: you can see some folders like MCT-AU, MCT-CA, MCT-GB, MCT-US, and MCT-ZA. Each subfolder 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).

* 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.

Why these thing are locked...

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. so for each specific location seperate themes get installed...

Interplanetary Internet..


Hi friends recently i read in a article about IPN i.e Interplanetary Internet, sounds pretty freaky seems. yup i think the world is going beyond all our expectations. Initially we kept contact through posting mails, then came telephones oh i missed the earliest one, nothing but sending messages through Birds, then came mobile phones and internet and got link to nook and corner of the world. But as if for now the scientists and space explorers gonna take us to far reaches of our solar system, and lay the groundwork for a communications system for a manned missions to Mars and planets beyond. It means its a network of network between planets in the universe connected via a common hub on space literally. If this come into existence then getting in touch with astronauts in space will be pretty simple and transmitting data's will be more efficient. Hope to have this technology as soon as possible.

WI-FI T-Shirt

Hi buddies I’ve read an interesting news last week which I would like to share with you all. A company has developed a WI-FI DETECTING T-SHIRT. This T-Shirt is an affordable and useful item that helps us to find the optimum position for a wireless communication. Whenever we are in a range of an 802.11b or g network, the glowing bars that adorn in front of the shirt lights up. If we have more bars on the shirt, stronger is the signal. We can get more details about this T-Shirt on firebox.com. Hope it’ll be useful to you all for some extent.

For Smokers

Recently I read an article about SMOKING on Hindu. For most people, the first experimental drags on cigarette bring on nausea, coughing, breathing problems and other signals from the brain that say, “Turn back. This is a bad idea.” But for some people, there comes a wave of pleasure. The second kinds of people bear a gene type whom will have an increased addiction rate. They also have a high risk of getting affected by cancer. So those who are having the habit of smoking please try to avoid it and lead a peaceful life.
