msconfig question

[Semper]

while checking msconfig I noticed an entry and wondered what is it
for:
Startup Item: dumprep 0 -k
Command: %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k
Location: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Any clues as to why it is there and if it is needed?

I'm not sure how or why it's there but you can disable it.

Thanks for your reply
I have disabled it.
I once had a bad MEM stick and I think that is how it may have gotten
there.
