117502 2003-02-01 00:21:00 When using XP when I kill a program un-expectedly, it decides that it wants to tell big bill about it... Only I dont want it to... Ever!

Is there a way I can turn it off permanently???

Cheers

117504 2003-02-01 00:42:00 Error Reporting - Automatic

Windows XP contains a feature that allows your system to send error report information directly to Microsoft. This information is collected and analyzed to assist in spotting problems, and developing solutions/fixes for them.

This feature can be customized as to what types of errors are reported, and what information is sent to Microsoft, if you choose. Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC. Go to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Error Reporting. Various options can be enabled, disabled or customized here.

You can also disable error reporting, or change whether Program Errors, System Errors or both are reported. You can even specify which Program errors will be reported. Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/Error Reporting and adjust the settings as desired.

Additionally, Error Reporting can be turned off in the Registry. Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\Err orReporting
Locate the Value: DoReport and double click on it. Change the value to your desired setting: 1 = Send Reports, 0 = Don't Send

I changed the two settings from not configured to disabled and then tryed to crash a window (I succeeded in killing the app.) and once it had died, nothing appeared :D

Thanks :-)

117507 2003-02-09 09:22:00 I was playing around by Right-Clicking on My PC and selecting properties.. now, somewhere in there you can disable it altogether as well - only its easier to re-enable and there's another few options, like only specific proggy's :D Chilling_Silence (9)
117508 2003-02-09 11:39:00 I think this option was covered in my previous post.

Right Click My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/Error Reporting and adjust the the settings as desired
