Where does a crash dump file go on the User's PC? - Page 4

You may need to locate the crash dump file on the user's PC. The way to determine this is to bring up the "System Properties" Dialog and then click on the "Settings" button from the Startup and Recovery.

This will bring up the following dialog that will show you where the dump file is located.

To find out what the environment variable %SystemRoot% is pointing to, we need to bring up the command prompt and type out "echo %SystemRoot%". In our case shown below, the dumpfile would be found at C:\Windows\Minidump\"

That's it have fun =)
