SYMPTOMS
When you use the Control Panel System tool to set Recovery options on the Startup/Shutdown tab, right-clicking and selecting What's This? on the Overwrite any existing file check box, you receive a text box that states:

  Select this check box to overwrite any existing file with the same name you typed in the Write debugging information to box.

If this check box is cleared, then Windows NT will create a new debugging information file if a file with this name already exists."



MORE INFORMATION
The What's This? Help message should read:

  Select this check box to overwrite any existing file with the same name you typed in the Write debugging information to box.

If this check box is cleared, then Windows NT will not create a new debugging information file if a file with this name already exists.
