When you set up Windows 7 and choose your language and region, it gives you the themes for what you pick. Here’s how to access more hidden International Themes on your Windows 7 system.
First click on Start and type: C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT into the Search box and hit Enter.

In the MCT folder that opens you’ll find themes for Australia, Canada, Great Britain, South America and the US.

Double click any of these folders and open the Theme folder.

Here you’ll find the Theme for that country or region.

After you apply an International Theme, it will appear in My Themes.
