Well if you are using 7-Zip as your extraction utility, it shouldn’t be a problem! Simply right click on the themepack file and select “Extract”.

But if you are not using 7-Zip, the you may have to first apply that themepack and then navigate to the folder where the themepack stores the desktop wallpapers.

This folder is a hidden folder and hence you may have to first slecet on ‘Show hidden files & folder’ option from the Explorer Folder Options.

Having done this, navigate to the following folder:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\

Here you will see a bunch of theme folders. Select the theme folder, whose wallpapers you need and open the DesktopBackground folder.

You will see the desktop wallpapers of that themepack there!

    If you dont use 7-zip, you can just simple rename .themepack to .zip and open it with any available archiver, without need to install the theme.
