Where does Dumprep.exe save dump files

Question

OS: Windows XP

I just disabled windows built-in dumprep.exe in system error reporting and also want to delete all dump files. I've tried to use ccleaner to scan windows > memory dumps but found nothing. It seems not related. Where does Dumprep.exe save dump files?

Solution

Right click on your My Computer icon and choose Properties. Select the Advanced tab and then click the Settings... button in the Startup and Recovery area. This will show you a window with a textbox near the bottom that gives the location of the dump files. It most likely uses an environment variable (%SystemRoot% on my machine, which corresponds to my C:\Windows\System folder).

Normally C:\Windows\Minidump, or search the drive for ".dmp"
