I am the programmer for WPI. I have made a "wizard" for XP to enable/disable Error Reporting. I want to do the same for Vista. I have found nothing in a Google search that deals with reg keys. Disabling the service is only a temp fix. Anyone know how to do this?

This is for Server 2008, but it should work on Vista too:

And here's how to do it with GPO:

Adding dword values to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\ExcludedApplications that match the .exe names you want to exclude from WER will exclude those binaries from WER checking/tracking. If you're actually looking to completely disable WER, the previous links will work, although I've never been a fan of disabling it entirely as it has it's uses (getting dump files and trace data automatically is pretty useful stuff when an app stops working, in my opinion).

GPO method isn't available in Home versions, so the other is my answer.

Thanks guys.
