How to prevent Win2k from creating error logs?
This is a discussion about How to prevent Win2k from creating error logs? in the Windows Software category; I´ve got a big problem with Windows 2000´s error log creation in case a program crashes. Since I never look into that logfile, I´d like to disable creating it, but chainging the options under System won´t prevent this.
