Java HotSpot Virtual Machine

Is there a way to disable the JVM dumps that are written to the Windows desktop?

I am supporting a client/server package that is experiencing occasional JVM crashes of the client at customer sites. After repeated attempts to get specific information about what they were doing when the crashes occur and trying to get application debugging traces that correspond to the dumps, I'm giving up.

We have decided to just disable the dumps that appear on the desktop on the customer's machines while we continue trying to find the cause. At least they will stop complaining about those unwanted dump files.

Sample dump:
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
