Situation: RootAlyzer lists everything that's hidden in some known ways.

Experienced: some entries are intentionally "hidden" by the system, like the SummaryInformation alternate data streams or the System Volume Information folders.

Expected: these entries should be whitelisted, so we need to test on Vista to see if this has more of these than the XP systems RootAlyzer was developed and tested on.

A link back: problem was mentioned in this thread

First results: Vista indeed has no administrator account listed in permissions for these registry keys:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DcomLaunch
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\HotStart
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\Svc
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray\BatMeter\Flyout

As well as many files, where we probably need to also check whether "Users" has "READ" access as an indicator that the file is fine.
