From Windows Help -
To disable error reporting

1.. Open System in Control Panel.
2.. On the Advanced tab, click Error Reporting.
3.. Click Disable error reporting.


The autorecovery task pane is something you will have to live with, but at
least now autorecovery does at least work a tad more reliably.

Is there any way to stop Word 2003 from making such a grand purple
fuss after it crashes? In prior versions I could delete the
temp-file debris, relaunch, and be back to work in under 30 seconds.
Now I must [1] listen to its plaintive whimper about sending an error
report, AND [2] endure the pointless (for me) task pane that insists
on me confirming that I want to reopen the recovered files. It's
like an old lady smothering a kid who's scraped his knee, refusing to
let him return to the playground right away.

Both of these processes happen quite slowly on my (new and very fast)
machine. I can't think of an instance when I *wouldn't* want to
reopen what I was working on and get back to business, but I'd rather
do it without grandma serving it to me on a doily. Is there a switch
or registry hack somewhere that'll cut that stuff out, or at least
speed it up?

TIA
