Ho to disable Dr. Watson

To turn Dr. Watson on, you type into the Run box:
"drwtsn32 -i" no quotes, space between 2 and -i

What command in the run box turns it off?
Thanks.

 

I think drwtsn32 -i doesn't actually start DrW, it only makes it the default application debugger. It starts automatically when an error occurs. I suppose if you want to use some other debugger, you'd have to open it and select to make it the default. That's all just my guess, I'm not a fan of DrWatson and have never really gotten into it in depth.

 

ackerberg--The command you ran makes Dr. Watson your default debugger. To turn that off, see the second paragraph here.

EDIT--I see that surferdude2 beat me while I was typing, but now you know how to turn the Doctor off. But I would think making another debugger the default as surferdude2 suggested, would also work.

 

Good job Jim, those links are good reading for the curious. I'm getting way too lazy and less curious daily..

 

why would you want to turn it off?

 

I want to turn it off because when I turn my computer off I keep getting a box message that Dr. Watson is trying to shut down and it is annoying.

 

Thank you all for your help.

 

ackerberg--You are welcome.
