Windows 8 Themes and Wallpaper

If you are wondering where to look for the Themes or Wallpaper folders in Windows 8, there are three locations for those in the filing system:-

The ones that are provided with the operating system, the default themes, are in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. But wait - that's not all.....

The rest, including those you make for yourself, are in a normally-hidden folder
inside your own username folder called 'AppData', and to see that folder you need to go into Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View (tab) and look down the list for 'Hidden files and Folders' and click the little circle in front of the words
'Show hidden files, folders, and drives' to activate that choice. Then don't forget to click 'Apply' and 'OK' down below before you close that little window.

Having done that, you can use File Explorer (new name for Windows Explorer) to navigate to C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes where you will find more Themes, including your own creations.

But you haven't found Wallpapers yet.....

And that's because those are in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper (as above) and this is where you can find the images for things like those one-picture-only themes
or images for the Lock Screen, etc. if you're looking for them. It's also possible to add more pictures to these files, for example to the one which has the picture of the out-of-focus daisies as a default Windows theme. Just note the file name
protocol used, and follow that same style and sequence. And that's probably everything you ever wanted to know about Themes files but were afraid to ask.
Making your own slideshow-style themes is a lot of fun, so give it a try.
