Deactivate drwatson.exe?

Whenever a program crashes in Win2k, drwatson.exe is started. It takes up quite a huge amount of RAM and lots of CPU time. It also takes some time to finish, maybe half a minute or so. However, it's possible to kill the process using the task manager, without any problems.
I don't know what exactly drwatson does, I guess it writes a crash protocol and some debug information. Whatever it does, I don't think I need it, it just makes the crash worse than it already is.

So - is there a way to deactivate it?
 
If you run "drwtsn32.exe -?" from Start... Run. There's a number of command line options you can choose from, and I think one of them allows you to disable it.

You could also go into the registry and find the place that drwtsn32.exe is invoked from (something...\AEDebug or similar), and possibly disable it there. I haven't tried this, so YMMV.
