Disable Error Reporting in Windows XP

Honestly, error reporting is kind of a drag. After a program or system crash, the last thing you want is to sit through is Windows having to grind out an error report. To disable Error Reporting:

  1. Click Start, then click Control Panel.
  2. In Control Panel, if the window is not already in Classic View, click the Switch to Classic View link on the left.
  3. Double-click Administrative Tools.
  4. In the Administrative Tools folder, double-click Services.
  5. In the Services window, scroll until you find the Error Reporting Service entry and double-click it to open its properties.
  6. In the properties dialog that opens, in the Startup Type box, select Disabled. Also click Stop to go ahead and stop the service.
  7. Click OK and then close the Administrative Tools folder.

Error Reporting will no longer bother you.
