Where are the locations of the various theme files stored in Windows 7?

In specific, system as well as per-user theme files.

User installed themes are located on %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes; in Windows 7 they are on %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

Yes, in Windows 7 theme files are (just like Vista) stored in:

%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes

When I have a quick look on Vista, they're under

C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

are they still there under Win7?
