Disable error reporting tool problems in win98

[Jeff Stevens]

I am attempting to disable the IE 6.0 error reporting tool in the
registry as per the microsoft instructions:

"To disable Internet Explorer Error Reporting so that the default
operating system error handler is shown if a crash occurs, set the
following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\

IEWatsonEnabled = (DWORD) 0

A value of 0 disables Internet Explorer Error Reporting, and a value
of 1 enables it (removing the key also enables Internet Explorer Error
Reporting)."

In my registry I noticed no "IEWatsonEnabled" in the sub directory of
Main.

anyone have any ideas? I just reformated a month ago and i think I
used a win 98 that was not second edition but not sure. wonder if that
is the reason.

Thanks,

J Stevens

You can create that DWORD value.

Thanks Don. I did not realize that you create it. I thought it was
there and you changed the value. Ive edited the registry before and no
problems but still a little nervous. Thanks again.

that link you referred to says its for IE 5.5. I have 6.0. the link
for 6.0 does not make reference to adding that value. In your opinion
do you think it would make a difference? adding that value in 6.0
versus 5.5?

Thanks again.

Jeff,
Caution, when editing the registry, is a good thing. Just export the key
[HKey_Local_Machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main] You can merge
that key back into the registry if necessary.

This regedit is safe with Win98. There's another MSKB article:
276550 - Description and Availability of Internet Explorer Error Reporting

Thanks again for your help. Not quite sure what you mean by exporting
the key. Not sure where to export it to. But i will do some homework
on that.
I appreciate your help. This IE error reporting tool is a pain.

You would export that key, before editing it, as a backup. Just select the
key then click on Registry then Export. Put the key someplace convenient.
Merging that key back into the registry will undo whatever change you made.
