Yes. But it is a registry tweak that affects the entire machine. See this Microsoft Knowlege Base Article Q124873 for more info. To paraphrase, this article basically says, along with the usual risk disclaimers regarding manual editing of the registry: • Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE). • From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\ErrorMode • Select the ErrorMode value. • From the Edit menu, choose DWORD. • Type 0 (zero), 1, or 2 to select the error mode. Regardless of this setting, all errors are written to the system log: • 0 – Error message box pops up (default). • 1 – No dialog for system errors only. • 2 – No dialog for system or other errors.
