The Shell is responsible for implementing AuthResetRequest, AuthResetSetup, and AuthResetGetValue. These public APIs live in Aygshell.dll and check the registry to see if an Authentication Reset Component (ARC)has been registered. If not, these calls will fail in most cases. It loads the component library and calls component APIs to perform the specific functions for the request. Aygshell also keeps a failure count, and ensures that only one Authentication Reset request is handled at a time.
