    Question Should I remove Windows.Explorer/Windows.ActiveDesktop?

    Hello, Spybot found these two entries and I'm not sure if it would be safe to remove them:

    Windows.ActiveDesktop: User settings (Registry change, nothing done)
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-299502267-1078145449-1202660629-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop\NoHTMLWallPaper!=W=1

    Windows.Explorer: User settings (Registry change, nothing done)
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-299502267-1078145449-1202660629-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ForceActiveDesktopOn!=W=0


    This is the first time it has found them, and I run Spybot daily.
    Thanks in advance!
