.file extension DMP - Memory dump, screen dump, junk files...
File extension DMP description:
A dump of memory typically created automatically when Windows crashes.
Windows error dumps are typically named MINI000000-00.DMP and are 64KB in size. The 000000-00 part of the name is month, day, year and sequence number for that date (mmddyy-e2_).
You can configure Windows to save STOP message information to a "dump" file.Three types of memory dumps are available:
- A small memory dump (64 kilobytes), which is written to the %SystemRoot%\Minidump folder. The paging file on the boot volume must be at least 2 megabytes (MB) in size.
- A kernel memory dump, which is written to the %SystemRoot%\Memory.dmp folder. The paging file on the boot volume must be at least 50 to 800 MB in size, depending on the amount of RAM.
- A complete memory dump, which is written to the %SystemRoot%\Memory.dmp folder. The paging file on the boot volume must be large enough to hold all of the physical RAM plus 1 MB.

Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems by Microsoft. They can run on several types of platforms such as servers, embedded devices and, most typically, on personal computers. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing trend of graphical user interfaces (GUI) popularized by the Macintosh. Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world's personal computer market.
