How to disable Error Reporting in XP?

We've all seen it: an application crashes and you get a dialog box that pops up and asks you to send an error report to Microsoft. Sure, it's nice that they want to try to keep up with what problems users are having and fix them, but maybe you don't want to bother or you don't particularly want to send information about what programs you're running. You can turn off the error reporting service and do away with those dialogs for good.
Here's how:
  1. Right click My Computer.
  2. Click Advanced.
  3. Select "Disable error reporting."
  4. Click OK.

Now wasn't that easy?
