Windows Startup Registry Entries Allowed

Description: This test verifies that the endpoint attempting to connect to your
system does not contain non-compliant registry entries in the run and runOnce
Windows registry keys.
Test Properties: Enter a list of registry key and values that are allowed in the
run and runOnce Windows registry keys. If the endpoint has any other values
in those keys, the test will fail. Separate entries by semicolons in the format
<key> or <key>::<value>.
For example:
updater::C:\Program Files\Common files\Updater\wupdater.exe
will allow Windows update to run on startup.
How Does this Affect Me?: The Microsoft Windows Registry contains informa-
tion that Windows uses during normal operations, including system options,
property settings, applications installed, types of documents each application
can create, ports used, and so on. Information is stored in keys, such as run
and runOnce. The run and runOnce keys cause programs to run automatically.
