Its a real pain. Every time you break, off it goes to look for
symbols. Its bad enough with XP and so on, there are enough missing
ones, especialy third party files, but with Win 7 there arent any
symbols on the site yet.

Please, please, short of disconecting the network every time I break,
is there a way of stopping windbg doing this?

Oh, and if you delete the symbol server from the symbvosl path, windbg
just puts it back, so that doesnt work.

Set the environment variable _NT_SYMBOL_PATH
For example:
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=SRV*C:\Windows\Symbols
