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.
