Hi ,
I am implementing some features of a c++ windows exe and have configured WER :
That is entries at :

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps

User's image

What I wanted to know , if there is any way I can create crash dump files with timestamp it was created.

eg. :

Myexe_<year_month_day_hr_min_sec>.dump .
Is there any way I could do that ? If yes , please let me know.

thanks in advance.
