Here are the texts simplified by following the given instructions:
a) Change the folder for dumps. Enter new path in Dump File box or Small dump directory box. Use Dump Check Utility to read or verify dumps.
b) People use tools to read dumps. The Dump Check Utility reads or verifies dumps.
c) The DMP file extension has four file types. DMP files relate to Windows Memory Dump. Operating systems view DMPs. Devices let you view and edit DMPs based on software. These have low popularity.
d) The DMP format specifies encoding information in files. File formats encode data in storage.
e) In Windows, “savedump.exe” makes .dmp files for debugging. Mini dumps save in ‘%SystemRoot%\Minidump’. Full memory and kernel dumps save as ‘Memory.dmp’ at system root. Large dump files take storage space. Delete useless .dmp files manually or via the disk cleaner.
f) Three dump types exist – full, kernel, system. Full dumps store all memory content, taking space. Kernel dumps omit program memory. Both overwrite old dumps if new issues occur.
DMPs relate to Dumpchk. DMPs record memory when Windows stops unexpectedly. Dumpchk seems unsupported now. DMPs are memory dump files from crashes with system snapshots to troubleshoot problems. Programs open DMPs, like hex editors, to view contents and debug errors.
DMPs create images for disaster recovery and forensics too. They have debugging uses – testing, monitoring, finding bottlenecks. But they take storage space. When opening DMPs, if Windows can’t recognize the extension, it asks you to select a program.
