| Getting a crash dump does not require the crash to last 1 second. Simply run ProcDump, then make it crash by searching. |

| There are multiple reasons that can cause this. Usually it means some Windows system is either not responding or slow to respond. For example maybe the start menu is trying to access a network resource that is no longer available. Without a crash dump it is impossible to diagnose. |

The setting is called "Pin_bitmap". Not all skins have it because by default the menu uses the icon from imageres.dll.
Look at the Metro and Midnight skins for examples. |

Also, you can try deleting the jumplist files to reset them. For IE they are
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\28c8b86deab549a1.automaticDestinations-ms
