System Configuration Utility - Startup tag.

Hello,

Startup Item: dumprep 0 -k
Command: %systemroot%\syste...
Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windoes\CurrentVer...

Is this an essential item or can it be safely disabled?

TIA..............Mel

Can be safely disabled, however, that entry may reappear after a Windows
crash. See also
