Discussion

This setting controls the reporting of errors to Microsoft and, if defined, a corporate error reporting site. This does not interfere with the reporting of errors to the local user. Since the contents of memory are included in this Error Report, sensitive information may be transmitted to Microsoft. This feature should be disabled to prevent the release of such information.
