Windows 10 - Get Back Windows 7 Theme Manager in Control Panel

As you probably know, Windows 10 brought along many changes to themes from Windows 7. There is much controlled in the Settings app now rather than in Control Panel as it was before, however there are features that I am missing. For example, as shown in the images below, I am now missing the theme folder and image list configuration options that I once had in Windows 7. The two different results (Windows 7 and Windows 10) from clicking the "Desktop Background" link in the main themes control panel page are entirely different as one links to the Settings app with next to no options, and one shows the nice, powerful-enough, control panel version with the image selection.







This is specifically what I'm looking for in Windows 10 that Windows 7 had, but Windows 10 does not.

How can I restore the old, Windows 7 Theme Images Manager in any edition (Home, Pro, Enterprise and Education) of Windows 10? Or is there an alternative that will get me the list of images where I can enable or disable each image individually?

Step 2 does not work at all. Anything from File Explorer and above does not launch at all.
