Where does Internet Explorer 8 store its emergency dumps?

I am struggling with an error that does not play on my machine, but is repeated every time on my client machine. I tried everything and now I'm looking for any debugging data (or something else) that IE8 leaves after a crash. Google and Microsoft searches gave me nothing. Where does Internet Explorer 8 store its emergency dumps? It definitely sends something to Microsoft after a crash, how can I see it?

There is a message here that will show how to create a mini dump

To create a mini drive:

  • Download and install "Debugging Tools"
  • In the folder where you installed it, run WinDBG.exe as admin (right-click, "run as admin ...").
  • Press F6, select "by executable file", find IEXPLORE.EXE, select, OK. (This is easier if only one instance of IEXPLORE is currently running.)
  • He will pop out a whole bunch of numbers and, in the end, will lead you out to the prompt at the bottom of the page. Just type G and hit enter. This attaches the debugger to the IEXPLORE process, but then allows it to "go" and continue to do its job.
  • Do everything you need to reproduce the crash.
  • This time, the failure condition will cause the debugger to break into the IEXPLORE process and pause all its actions. In other words, instead of seeing the same error message, you will see that the debugger has captured and IEXPLORE will look like frozen.

  • Ignore all bursts and wait for the prompt at the bottom of the WinDBG window, then enter the following:

    .dump /m IE1.dmp

If you do not specify the full path, the IE1.dmp file will be created in the same folder where you installed the debugger package. If you close this mini-drive and load it here, I or someone else will be able to dig out more information from it.
