What is the Container folder and why is it missing?

They have 5 steps listed? Can you not get the files they mention in step 5? I can't tell if Containers is the name of a Windows file or just an internal reference or what.

 

How to view non-Windows .dmp files?

Tutorials on how to view dump files are usually about Windows .dmp files (like BSODs).

If an application crashes, it also happens that a .dmp file is created (named after the application).

Tools to view .dmp files are often (hardcoded) looking in the C:\Windows\MiniDump folder,
whereas crash dump files are stored in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\CrashDumps.

Two questions:
1. are there any tools (preferably portable) that can open the .dmp files in the \CrashDumps folder?
2. do such .dmp files (crashdumps) contain personal data or file/folder name data?
If such dmp files are submitted for investigation, what personal- file or folder data am I submitting then?

Thanks.

Download BlueScreenView, unpack the ZIP, and run the EXE (no installation necessary). It's an excellent little utility for looking at DMP files and finding the cause of crashes.
