    Hi guys i have the same issue


    I can't find the folder where all the default desktop backgrounds are located...

    i go to c:/windows/web/wallpaper (this is the folder where they're located on my other laptop and my desktop) and its filled with Lenovo wallpapers which aren't even listed in my desktop personalization

    i go to c:\users\name\appdata... and its empty there is no Theme folder

    im clueless here where are they hidden...

    and why in the world would they be in a different folder than my desktop...? (they're both Windows 7 Pro 64bit)

    any help would be appreciated
