XP - stop "send a report" message

Here's something that should help all XP users.
Stop Windows XP from asking if you want to send a report to Microsoft whenever a program crashes
Whenever a program crashes, whether it's a Microsoft application, a component of Windows, or a third-party application, a window appears, prompting you to send a "report" to Microsoft. Here's how to disable this feature, either completely or selectively:
Open System in the Control Panel (or right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
Choose the Advanced tab, and click Error Reporting.
You can disable error reporting entirely here, or enable it selectively for certain programs. Click Ok when you're done.

Yeah they should. It wouldn't have bothered me so much except that message wipes out any Torque error messages that can appear underneath it. I was moving my Torque window off to one side before I knew an error message would appear just to try and see what the message was. This is a little better :)

I've often wondered if anyone clicked to send the info in, and if Micro$oft even bothers to look at them.

But they only take like the top 10% of the dumps, and tries to fixes them, if possible.

They should add a little checkbox that says "disable this report" on each report box or something.
