Dr.Watson is a debugging tool and sometimes it may become essential to disable the Dr. Watson utility. (Some system users may find the utility annoying when it pops errors when working on their custom made software's).
Perform the following steps to disable Dr.Watson in Windows XP:
Type Regedit in the Run command box (Start >> Run). This will open the Registry editor.
Locate & click on the AeDebug key.
(found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\)
On the right pane look for the Value name "Auto". Right click on it and click "Modify".
Set the Value data to 0 to disable Dr.Watson.
Save and close the registry.
To re-enable Dr.Watson set the value to 1 or by using the command drwtsn -i.
