Strange minidump location - c:\Windows\LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG

[Shintaro]

Hi,

I have just seen c:\Windows\LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG set as the minidump folder.

Does anyone know what application is setting that location??


Regards.

Wow, neat! I never knew of this.

The Watchdog dump location should contain mostly 0x117 dumps.

Why mini-kernel BSOD dumps are ending up in there - unknown.

Are they definitely BSOD dumps -- or do they contain WD- in the filename ?
