That's a great trick! I seem to remember that there is a way to turn that off globally though, but not sure where. Maybe running drwtsn32.exe and un-checking 'Visual Notification' does the trick? FWIW, here's a kb article that describes this. Although it refers to 32-bit apps on 64-bit XP, I'm pretty sure you can do the same for 32-bit XP? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283150/EN-US/

Well, generally it is a good idea on a developer machine to automatically start the debugger when a problem in the tested application happens, so I prefer to not change this setting globally.

However, some time ago I have tried to turn the notifications off in every way I could find but did not succeed. Although I'm not sure I found the article you mentioned.
