Top of the morning to all !!!
Any idea how I can get rid of that pesky IE "would you like Microsoft explorer to send a error report" message ? (I may be a little off on the exact wording, but you get my drift...) What do I delete ?

From PC Mag....

"If you right-click on My Computer and select Properties or open the System icon in the Control Panel, you'll see the System Properties dialog. Select the Advanced tab and click on Error Reporting. This brings up a dialog that lets you disable error reporting altogether. Even better, click on Choose Programs and disable error reporting for specific programs."

 
Hey !!! Thanks for the reply. One problem though, There is no Avanced tab anywhere to be seen after My Computer and Properties. I tried all of the tabs available in that window. I am running Win 98 Second Edition. Could it be somewhere else ?

Thanks !
 
Whooops...sorry....

I need to remember where I am. I gave you the fix for an XP OS. You be needing this (you're running IE6.0, I'm assuming....)

"For Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 and earlier, use the Registry script below to disable Error Reporting.

Registry Script UnWatsonIE6.reg
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"IEWatsonEnabled"=dword:00000000

Only administators have access to the Registry. If you receive an error when trying to run this script, contact your administrator or local support group""
