Registry Entry 2

For Alan Edwards, MVP: In my previous post , Registry Entry, you last wrote:

"I can only suggest that you export the key and delete it. You can peruse
these for more information, but obviously ignore (no offense meant) your
multi-posted questions and the answers you have been supplied before."

I have deleted the suspect registry entry time and again, both with Ad-Aware
and with Regedit. It always re-appears when I switch the Desktop icons from
"show" to "hide", but not from "hide" to "show".

Thanks for your help. I've perused the Google Group you suggested. What I
read there seems to indicate the suspect registry entry might have been put
there by a Spyware program, but the fact it continues to re-appear after
being deleted is puzzling. Could it have something to do with the suspect
registry entry appearing here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

According to this thread, it's a false positive, related to Active Desktop.
