Ignore list for symbol download

Hi all,

Every time I start my debug session using VMware, WinDbg spends some time looking for symbols relative to vmware drivers and tools. These symbols will never be downloaded and I’ll always spend this time for every new debug session (or .reload command).

Is there any way to tell WinDbg to ignore a list of modules so that it wont spend time looking for their symbols?

Yes, there is. The magic incantation is buried in a random .doc file,
previously explained here:
