Your copy of Windows 7 has a number of themes available when you first install it — but what you may not realise is that there are more on your computer, that it is not showing you, because they are disabled by default. Watch this video to enable them.

It's cool, but my brand new Win7 Pro laptop doesn't have the MCT folder. :(

I thought mine didn't either. Even with hidden folders visible, it still doesn't appear — so don't try to navigate to it by double-clicking. If you type it into the address bar it should work.
For the record, I'm running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on a laptop (same setup as you) so if I have it, it should be hidden on yours somewhere as well ;-)
I did install it myself, not buy a new laptop with it, though.

Thanks, I got it to work. Weird behaviour by explorer! I think I'll run the Aussie theme for a while as a small tribute to your find. ;)
I've got the 64 bit version on this laptop. It's a replacement for one I had stolen 3 weeks ago. I opted for pro version mainly because I need XPMode for a few older apps I need to run once in a while.
[edit] Not so weird behaviour after all. If you tun off "Hide protected operating system files" the folder is visible through normal navigation. I guess it is weird that the folder still displays with that option enabled. Seems like a bug. Maybe admins can browse to any folder if they know the path.

These themes aren't completely hidden. They're just only used when the region for your installation of Windows 7 is changed. For example, if you pick "Australia" for the country when installing Windows, it shows the Australia theme and hides the other country themes.
Yes, only the themes that match the country selection at installation are shown.
So if someone wants to use a theme from a different region, they're going to have to do this to activate it (or re-install and select that region).
