Security Dump files tweak & disable dr.watson

Heed the following from PC Magazines site:

" Dump file. A dump file stores data from memory during a method crash and can be helpful when diagnosing problems, but such as a swap file, it can also expose a bunch of sensitive, unencrypted data. To prevent Windows from creating the file, go to Control Panel | System. Click on the Advanced tab and then the Settings button on the Startup and Recovery pane. Set the drop-down menu under Write debugging information to (none).

"Similarly, the debugging program Dr. Watson saves information when applications crash. To disable it, go to HKEY_local_machinesoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNT
CurrentVersion AeDebug and set the Auto string to 0. Then use Windows Explorer to go to Documents and Settings
All UsersShared DocumentsDrWatson. Delete User.dmp and Drwtsn32.log, the insecure logs the program creates."

Heed related advice from microsoft regarding Disable Dr.Watson first before the preceding Dr. Watson advice (go Google search.)

Back up with System Restore, as well as go ahead. As cautious as I am, I have gladly applied these tweaks, as well as followed related microsot advice on Dasrat Rai
