    C:windows>resources>theme>(name of the theme folder)

    custom theme usually have their wallpaper folders inside

    and to locate directly location of wallpapers in any theme. you can

    Right click>personalize>desktop background>and you'll see the wallpaper folder root. You can track it from there

    How can I indicate the theme folder that I want to change it's wallpaper?

    Alt+PrintScreen

    Open Paint

    C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows

    (with copies of some in the winsxs folder though it's not immediately apparent why!)

    You may need to unhide files to find the one you want.
