How do I find the My Themes images files?

You've downloaded two or three new Themes for Windows 7, but there are one or two pictures in there that are a little too "artsy" for you - taken at an angle that gives you a sore neck while you're trying to look at it, for example - and you'd like to simply delete it, if only you knew where it's hiding in your files. That word 'hiding' wasn't used accidently, because these images are kept among your hidden files, not normally accessible.

Here's what you have to do:- In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click on 'Tools', then go to 'Folder Options', click the 'View' tab, and put a check mark in the box for 'Show hidden files folders, and drives'. Now you're ready to start going to the file you want...

Navigate to:- C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\(name of it)\DesktopBackground. If you click on the DesktopBackground file, it opens to show you all the images that are being used for that set of backgrounds. Choose the one you didn't like and click on 'Delete'. Problem solved. Close the file and empty the Recycle Bin, and then don't forget to go back to the beginning, and uncheck that little box for 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives'. Now, as that theme changes images, you won't see the one you didn't like.

Short 'PS': While you're in that images folder, you may also want to re-size those, because most of them are huge - more than 3,000 by 2,000 pixels - which is more than you need for most monitors, whether widescreen or not. When re-sized, these will fit your own monitor better, and use less resources while being displayed, so it's a win-win situation.
