+  description: |-
+    When Word starts, it searches for the registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Word\Options\STARTUP-PATH and if it exists,
+    it will treat it as a user specific start-up folder and load the contents of the folder with file extensions of .wll,.lnk,.dotm,.dot,.dotx
+    The registry key can be abused to load malware from the mentioned path. Reboot might be required.
