"Disable Error Reporting"
This allows you to tell Microsoft every time something crashes in Windows XP. Want to get rid of that message? Here's how:
--Click Start and right-click My Computer
--Click Properties>>Advanced. Click Error Reporting.
--Select "Disable Error Reporting" Click OK>>OK.

Here is the way to do it in W98. I don't know what other systems this will work on.

MS Error Reporting

In Registry Editor (Regedit.exe), create a DWORD value called IEWatsonEnabled and set it to 0 in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Or follow the route of administrative tools/ services / and set it to disabled from the list.
Xp has many roads leading to a common destination.
