I did one scan and it flagged the following

Microsoft.Windows.Security.InternetExplorer.Settings
Microsoft.Windows.SecurityCenter.AntivirusdisableNotify.settings
Microsoft.Windows.SecurityCenter.UpdateDisableNotify.Settings

That was OK as I had deliberately set those. So I excluded those detection from further searches. Fixed a few tracks, looked in the recovery tab, only the ones I'd fixed showed. So far so good.

However, I did a second scan, it did not flag those 3 excluded items
BUT when I fixed another entry in that second scan (clearing Management console tracks),
when I checked the recovery tab, those three entries showed in the list of fixed items.
So although those 3 items are excluded and not flagged, fixing anything else also fixes those three entries.
That did not happen with 1.5.1.17.
