jpgs may be found in these locations
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT

If you go into themes hover over the photo a name like img0.jpg (main Win 7 wallpaper)
pops up. So search that and you find each theme has a folder with a name like

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-s..allpaper-landscapes_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_895c1fabae7e0073

so go C: --> Windows --> winsxs --> x86_microsoft-windows........other shit here

If you're still subscribed to this, then thank goodness someone knows this. A systemwide search turned up nothing for me, but searching within C:\winsxs\ found what I was looking for.

Well, some folks seem to find the jpg's here, some there. Mine are listed in the Control Panel (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Desktop Background) as My Documents\My Pictures\Theme01, or Theme02, etc.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but i found the images from the windows 7 themes in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\ {ThemeName} .

Another way to view/save these wallpapers is to go to Personalize, click on Desktop Background at the bottom, a window displaying all the backgrounds for that theme will open, right click on the image you want, click OK to the Windows Security message that is displayed, right click menu will display, select Preview, the image will be displayed in Windows Photo Viewer (on my PC), select the File dropdown, select Make A Copy..., and save the image where ever you'd like.

Dudes, it's really simple.
On Windows Explorer, point to the C:\Windows directory, in the search box, type *.jpg. Right click, group by folder right-click view thumbnails.
c:\windows\web\windows\web\wallpaper\...
c:\windows\globalization\MCT\...

Forgot a step. Start>control panel> file and folder options
View tab, uncheck Hide system files.

Enjoy!

locate the folder
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Architecture
you need admin privileges
then add photos to the folder it will then add the photos to the desktop slide show.
I am running windows 7 ultimate hope this works for you

I think they would like the place of the actual pictures in the theme which are in:
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
The pictures for the themes are there and you can customize them as you please.

Add pics to themes: Copy and paste this in Win 7 search then open your folder and add or remove pictures as needed.

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
Merry Christmas!
