How to disable drwatson?

[Guest LuDean Marvin]

For trouble shooting purposes, I would like to disable DrWatson.

Each time Windows Explorer crashes, it runs and it too crashes.

I am then forced to Alt-Ctrl-Del, and close down the crashed

programs before I can resume work. Is there anyway I can do this?

If I should choose to keep it disabled, what would the

consequences be?

Additionaly to advice received already...

 

....to delete the dump files created by Dr Watson on earlier occasions, you

will have to delete them manually with this procedure: Open Windows

explorer, Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson and delete files named User.dmp and Drwtsn32log.

Uninstall DrWatson in Safe Mode.

Thanks. Just what I needed... I hope. It's now disabled and am

waiting for the next Windows Explorer crash to see what happens.
