Disable Error reporting in windows 7

Error reporting is a service offered by Microsoft to solve user problems and design their software better to perform well by developing service packs and patches.They gather information from the users all around the globe and take necessary actions to serve us better.By default this service is enabled.However this service may look annoying to some users.Now am going to tell two wayshow to disable this feature in windows 7.
Method 1
Launch start menu type Problem reporting settings 

Now select Choose how to report problems 

 Now click on never check for solutions

But my advice is to leave it enabled to help microsoft serve us better.
Method 2
Now am going to use Gpedit (Group policy editor) but this is not available in windows home .
You can type gpedit.msc either in Run dialog box or in Start menu search.

In the Local Group Editor Window dive into User configuration\Administrative Templates\Window Components\Windows Error Reporting 

 Change the setting from not configured to enabled.

Thats it enjoy

Now see the magic double click on the Master Control Panel icon. now let me tell how does this work .Windows uses GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for every single object and when you created with GUID then windows checks in the registry for corresponding GUID in HKCR\CLSID and launches the coressponding application.See for yourself
