@bob3160 Thank you for telling us this! I never knew a such tool like this even existed on windows! :slight_smile: I guess the saying is true you do learn something new everyday ;D

23

For me, the day I stop learning is the day I’ll be 6 feet under. ;D
I actually got some of the information in one of the News Letters that I subscribe to.
I just enhanced it and added screen shots and found out the actual program the article was
talking about so that I could create a desktop shortcut.
Even though it’s buried in the control panel functions, I couldn’t find the actual program used
without a lot of digging.
The fun of learning. :slight_smile:

24

The thing that gets me though where is the screenshots that you can see inthe “.mhtml” file in the zip folder that it creates is stored… wait is the images stored in the mhtml file? ???

25

Correct. It creates the file with all the information including the screen shots.
This program was actually developed for professional who help customers track down the
problems.
Remember, it only works for problems you can recreate. Or problems that happen at
a predictable time after you launch the system etc.

+1…had no idea this was there, thanks

It will all be available to you as part of the Windows 8 Beta release in addition to the features available in the Developer Preview.

Which will hopefully be out by some time in Feb. 2012.

For some others the beta download should start quite soon. (CES) :wink:
