You want to deactivate the memory dump of Windows.

Normally if Windows crashes the content of the memory will be saved into a file. To disable this option you have to do the following steps:

Under sytem failure -> write debugging information you can open a drop down list. Select "None" from the list.
From now on Windows will not be saving the memory content in a file.
