Registry

[worried]

Hello All,
going through the registry,I found 2 of my main
addys plain and clear for anyone to see,is this
normal? I am the only one using this XPHome,but
when I download,is there any way in the download process
that these addys can be seen,or checked ? So are they
there for a reason,or can I remove them !!
Thanks all,for any info.
