Crash dump files are required to use an analysis tool to display the reasons for a system error or crash. The file, usually named user.dmp cannot be read via an editor. Furthermore, it cannot be renamed, but it can be deleted without any consequences. It is only used for subsequent evaluation. Windows 7 only creates this file under the condition that there is at least 25GB of free hard disk space. If you want to deactivate this feature in order to always save this file, follow these steps:

 

 

The Regedit command is entered and called up in the start menu.
