I accidentally moved a folder in the system 32 folder with the mouse while trying to change the icon of a shortcut. Then, when I switched on the computer the next day I lost all themes. I don't know which folder I moved but here's a screenshot:

Did you try doing a system restore to a date prior to this happening?

Hi,

The themes getting disabled seems to be quite the bug!
I had it just now - I found it was because I had a buggy version of Norton.
Uninstalled it.

Then
Start-> Run->(type) services.msc
Click on themes
Manually stop and start

And my themes were restored.

Although the cause of your problem seems to be diff - this is worth trying.

I tried double clicking Themes in Services and setting
Recovery tab ->First Failure (dropdown) : Restart the service
General tab -> Startup type (dropdown) : Automatic
But that didnt work.
Manual restart of the service did.

All I'm saying is - its worth trying
