www.BlackViper.com: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Services 411 - Themes

Themes

Default Description:

Provides user experience theme management.

Additional Information:

Used to display all those new XP themes and colors on your desktop. If you are memory conscious and do not care about the "new" XP look, disable this service to save RAM. I have observed between 4 MB to 12 MB of RAM used for the new themes.

Additional Reading:

None at this time.
