When bug 1672957 is fixed it should prevent creating a shortcut to the WDBA, which can hide the Firefox shortcut. However on systems where the prompt had already been displayed this shortcut will still remain. We should remove a Firefox.lnk shortcut to defaultagent.exe if we find it.

We might want to run this in the WDBA when it installs or uninstalls the task, or it might make sense to do helper on postupdate/uninstall when otherwise dealing with shortcuts.

This should be pretty straightforward to check with ShellLink::GetShortCutTarget().
