Error Reporting in Windows XP Professional.

This service gives Microsoft the ability to track and address errors relating to the operating system, components, and applications. The idea behind the service was that Microsoft would be able to track down bugs and fix them more efficiently and quickly.
If this annoys you, then turn it off.
The controls to turn off or customize Windows Error Reporting reside in System Settings, located in the Control Panel. (You can also right-click My Computer and select Properties.) In the System Settings dialog box, select the Advanced tab and then click the Error Reporting button to reveal the Error Reporting dialog box.

Computer Tip 23 October 2009

Turn off Word's Smart Cut and Paste
The Smart Cut and Paste feature enables Word to automatically adjust formatting when you paste text. The problem is, you might not want Word to adjust a thing.
This feature is enabled by default, and it works well most of the time.
To disable this feature, do the following:

• Choose Options from the Tools menu.
• Click the Edit tab.
• Uncheck Smart Cut And Paste in the Cut And Paste section.

Hint By disabling this feature, you’ll lose its good points as well as its bad. That’s why customising it might be more efficient.
