How to stop M$ asking me to send crash reports

[blutach]

When I terminate a prog with End Process from the Task manager, M$ always asks me to send them a report, to which I always answer no.

Anyone know how to turn this stupid message off for good?

TIA.

Right-click My Computer, select Properties, choose Advanced tab, press "Error Report" button, select "Disable error reporting", and then click OK when done

I use XP Antispy to disable error reports and more.

Yes, very good Thread. Maybe it should be consolidated and put into the "Tips" thread?

Why would MS ask for an error report when stopping a program in task manager? Never asked me when closing programs that way. Just curious????

[LT. Columbo]

all it ever gives me is "this may cause system instability" blah blah blah....

Don't they have like Rolaids or Tums for that?

shouldn't be getting that error message for killing processes (or at least not every time?). i prefer to leave it on though, if an app shuts down i'd like to know about it

[LT. Columbo]

yeah i'd like to know about it too, i agree.

Appreciate the help
