Question

How to disable send error report in windows 2000

Asked by: speedway

Whenever an application crashes on my Windows 2000
Professional, I get the send error report, don't send
error report message.  I don't recall always seeing this
message before.  Maybe it's a feature with Windows 2000
service pack 3?

I know this feature is on Windows XP and you can disable
it in system properties - advanced tab.  However, I don't
see this option in Windows 2000.  I also tried the
GPedit.msc to edit services but couldn't find any options to disable it.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Actually my question was regarding any program crash, not just IE.  But you reminded me of the Dr. Watson error reporting program.  I have forgotten about it.  Thanks.
