Explorer Backgrounds

Where are the Explorer Backgrounds kept on my hard drive and what format are they in?  I'd like to recolor some (in PS) for variations in themes.  If not possible then that's fine.  Thanks in advance.

They are TGA files and the defaults are stored in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Textures

Custom images can be saved in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Vista Images\ExplorerTextures

Thanks for the reply Neil.  So Photoshop can open them and recolor?  Or, do I use Skin Studio free version?

Never mind Neil.  I tried it in PS and it did open them.  Even previews them before opening so I know which one I'm opening.  Cool!
