GREAT
TIP
Tired
of Windows XP Error
Reporting? Simply Disable It...

By Kim Valentine (*)
A
new (and tiring) feature in Windows XP is "Error Reporting". Everytime
a program has a problem and crashes a little box comes up and says " 'Program
Name' has encountered problems and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I'm glad Microsoft is sorry
for inconveniencing me, but it goes on to say "Please
tell Microsoft about this problem" and gives you two buttons, "Send
Error Report" and "Don't Send". My first question is, who receives
all those error reports and does anyone really read them? Well, if you're annoyed
by these messages, Open System in the Control Panel (or right-click on the My
Computer icon and select Properties. Choose the Advanced tab, and click Error
Reporting. You can then disable this, or even pick and choose what programs
it's allowed to report on.
