<>Disable dump file creation
When Windows stops unexpectedly as the result of a Stop Error (¡§blue screen
of death¡¨ or system crash), a Memory.dmp file is created and it can be
helpful when using debugging tools and software. Like the page file above,
it can contain sensitive information and passwords displayed in plain text
form. I have never found this information of much use, but an intruder can
definitely make use of it. To disable the dump file creation, follow this
procedure:
Click on Start, go the settings, and open the Control Panel, Double click
the ¡¥System¡¦ icon and then click the ¡¥Advanced¡¦ tab Click the ¡¥Startup and
Recovery button, and look for ¡¥Write Debugging Information¡¦ toward the
bottom of the window (XP users will have to first click on ¡¥Settings¡¦)
Click on the down arrow at the right of the top window. Default setting is
Small Memory Dump (64 KB). Choose ¡¥(none)¡¦
Click ¡¥OK¡¦ to save your settings and close all open windows.

How to disable Dr. Watson for Windows

and/or
<>Disable Dr. Watson dump file creation
Another memory dump file similar to the ones above is created by Dr Watson.
This is a program error debugger that gathers all kinds of information
about your computer when a user error or user-mode fault occurs within a
program. I have never found these files to be useful either. To stop
creation of these files, follow this procedure:
Go to start, then run, then type in ¡¥regedit.exe¡¦ and hit ¡¥Enter¡¦
Browse to the following location in the left pane:
HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
Left click on the value ¡¥Auto¡¦ on the right pane, and change the value from
¡¥1¡¦ to ¡¥0¡¦ Close the registry editor.
To delete the dump files created by Dr Watson on earlier occasions, you
will have to delete them manually with this procedure: Open Windows
explorer, Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson and delete files named User.dmp and Drwtsn32log.
