       Too many minidumps in Windows 7

       Too many minidumps in Windows 7
       By default Windows 7 now keeps the last 50 minidump files
       (memory images saved when your PC crashes). If you're keen on
       using dump files to troubleshoot crashes then this is good news,
       but if you've no interest in that kind of advanced debugging
       then minidumps are just a waste of your valuable hard drive
       space. In which case you should run REGEDIT, browse to
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
       ,
       and set MiniDumpsCount to 1.
       Windows will only now keep the last dump file and you'll free up
       a little hard drive space.
