CrashMe is a simple application that implements several common debug situations and scenarios. As such it is a great help for both; your first steps with WinDbg or if you ever need to reproduce a particular crash within a test environment. Take a look at the screen-shot bellow or simply download it to get a hint of what we are talking about.

Note: If you have an interesting situation that CrashMe doesn't cover please drop us a line or send us your code. Other CrashMe fans might be thankful for your contribution.
