    Dragging/dropping/combining Win 7 themes


    Love some of the Christmas themes (but not all)
    Love some of the Winter themes (but not all)

    Is there a way to combine the two?

    If you are talking about the wallpaper that comes with those themes try going to C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper and look for those themes wallpaper and put the ones you want in one of the folders and use that.

    Winter and holiday lights would look good together. I just cant find the path the theme packs go to.
