Windows 7 is a worldwide operating system and Microsoft made a really good move by adding regional wallpapers into the operating system. When you choose your region settings, the appropriate theme is displayed. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to activate hidden regional settings in Windows 7.

To activate regional themes:

1. Open Computer (window key + E), click Organize, and click Folder and Search Options.

2. Under the View tab, check Show hidden files, folders, and drives and uncheck Hide Protected operating system files.

3. When prompted, click Yes. Click OK.

4. Navigate to %systemroot%\Globalization\MCT\

5. Select a region by opening its folder and double clicking on the theme file to activate the themes.

You can now use Windows 7's "hidden" regional themes which will be available from the Personalize menu (right click the desktop and click Personalize.)
