How to disable Dr Watson in win2k?

Sometimes while playing medal of honor, especially when loading between maps, the game will fall back to the desktop with the message "MOHAA.exe has generated an error, a log file is being generated" (or something to that effect). During this there is a lot of disk activity, and the process drwatson32.exe spawns in the task manager window. After several moments of disk churning, I get a user.dmp file in my E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DrWatson folder which happens to be 512 megs in size (same as my RAM). Is there a proper way to disable dr watson besides drwatson32.exe -> drwatson32.off (renaming the file). Thanks for the help.
 
Never mind, found it myself😀

Regedit

Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\drwatson

CreateCrashDump = 0
SoundNotification = 0
VisualNotification = 0

Now hopefully it won't dump the memory, or even notify me for that matter
 
Editing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug will really, really disable dr watson.
