"Windows Error Reporting" (or WER) is a feature that was introduced in Windows Vista SP1 that allows
to collect crash reports if a program crashes. Such reports greatly facilitate debugging of the issue
that caused the crash. Click here for more information on WER.
By default WER is disabled. This GUI utility simplifies the process of configuring WER to collect crash reports (also known as crash dumps, or minidumps) for crashing programs. The utility simply provides a graphic user interface to set up the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps
This utility can be helpful for developers of a crashing application. For instance, a developer can instruct the end-users experiencing crashes in their application to download and run this tool to configure Windows to collect crash dumps. After that the end-users can simply upload to the developers of the crashing application the minidump (.dmp) files that will be generated by Windows after each crash. Information provided in crash dump files can be indispensable for developers to debug the issue.
Note again, that this utility does not collect crash dumps itself. It simply helps end-users to set up WER for crash dump collection.
For details on setting up this tool check the manual in the INFO file provided in the download package. For more technical details on system registry settings that this tool works with check this document.

This small utility can be handy for developers who use Microsoft Visual Studio. It can do the following:
- Before archiving a Visual Studio C++ or C# solution, sharing it, or uploading it to a Git repository a developer may want to clean, or shrink the solution folder in size.
- Quite often C++ or C# projects may become corrupted, IntelliSense may stop working, or Class Views become unresponsive. And simply invoking Build -> Clean Solution command from within the Visual Studio, in most cases, will not perform a thorough cleanup.
This tool will do all that for you. Check included manual for additional details.
