Boom Don't send report! And a simple macro?

Hi, a WinXP question (or is it Internet Explorer?).

(1) I am getting tired of all Microsoft's "helpful" prompts. Such as, should I send an error report to them every time an applicaton has an error? I do not see anywhere on their popup window to disable this. I do not want to send a report and I do not want to see this window again...any ideas?

(2) Thanks to all those prompts, as far as I can tell, it takes me 3 hotkey strokes to "print selection" from a web page document. Is there a simple way to print a selection with a single hotkey (like a simple Macro) if so, can you explain?

Small things, but they can bug you if you have to do them 50 times a day.

Thanks in advance!

1) Overall best thing to do is to get to the bottom of what is causing the errors. No errors, no pop ups. But there is a service called Error Reporting that can be disabled.

You can also right-click on My Computer,
select properties,
click on Advanced tab,
select Error reporting at the bottom,
select Disable Error reporting.

Rightclick on "My Computer", select "Properties", go to the "Advanced tab", click on the "error report" button on the lower right, and select "deactivate error report". Also uncheck the box underneath that says something like "but report in case of severe errors".

Done.
