In Windows HELP, click Index, then type

Description of the Dr. Watson for Windows (Drwtsn32.exe) Tool

The Dr Watson log file is used by technical persons to solve problems with programs, and may be quite large.

Also check out THIS recent thread. It could be something else apart from the genuine Dr. Watson of Microsoft Windows. I'm still baffled why people get it every once in a while. I tried look it up in my desktop Help and Support to no avail.
