Resetting the Elf

There are several reset methods for the Elf.
A warm boot terminates an unresponsive application and clears the working RAM,
but preserves the file system. Registry is restored from persistent memory if available
or returned to factory default.
A cold boot forces all applications to close, completely reinitializing the system. It
clears the working RAM, but the file system is preserved. Registry is restored from
persistent memory.
A clean boot restores the Elf to a clean configuration: both the Registry and the file
system returns to a clean status that conforms to factory default.
