@MagicAndre1981,

ShellHardwareDetection must run, if you want to use the Theme-Service

I check the use of this service and found it is use for Provides notifications for AutoPlay hardware events.

I think that is not needed for themes

I told you one answer, but you think you know it better

Ask Nuhi, but I an unable to give you an ETA for a response.

Why are you so concerned with Theme Service files? If you want to remove it, use XPLite or nLite. If you don't like the Service, just disable it and use Windows Classic.

how i can control theme service from registry.

Start > Run > CMD > net start/stop <Service>

So "net stop Themes" and "net start Themes".
