Is there some way I can turn off whatever it is in Sonar that tells it to dump GB's worth of of files into this folder - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue - every time it crashes ? 
 
Platinum W7 64 if it matters.
 
TIA

Windows Error Reporting is an MS Windows function, not a Sonar/Cakewalk one.
 
Windows Disk Cleanup can clear the contents of the folder or you can do it manually.
 
It can be turned off completely using Window's local group policy editor.
 
Which, if my old notes are correct, is accessed by opening gpedit.msc from the start menu search prompt or from a console window.
 
Then go to Computer Configuration ->Administrative Templates -> Systems -> Internet Communication Management
-> Internet Communication Settings.
 
Select Turn Off Windows Error Reporting
 
Reboot the PC.
 
You might well need to run the policy editor as administrator, can't remember for sure though.

Thanks. I'll try this tomorrow. I have been using the disk cleanup function, but as Plat seems to crash quite a lot it's getting a bit boring now. I assumed it was sonar doing it's thing as I have never seen anything in there that is not sonar related.
