How do I crash Windows 2000 with a few key strokes

Sometimes, a Memory.dmp is helpful.

If you want to be able to create one with a few keystrokes:
1. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesi8042prtParameters

2. On the Edit menu, Add Value name CrashOnCtrlScroll, as a type REG_DWORD. A data value of 1 enables this feature. A missing Value Name, or a data value of 0, disables it.
3. Shutdown and restart your computer.
To crash your system, with:

*** STOP: 0x000000E2 (0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)
The end-user manually generated the crashdump.

1. Hold down the right hand Ctrl key.
2. Press the ScrLk twice.
