CastleCops also adds additional items that may not be in the original list but attempts are made to ensure the original is also updated. The full HTML list is here.

  • "N" - Not required - typically infrequently used tasks that can be started manually if necessary
  • "U" - User's choice - depends whether a user deems it necessary
  • "X" - Definitely not required - typically viruses, spyware, adware and "resource hogs"
