GeekByte: Disable Script Debugging in Internet Explorer

GeekBytes is my jargon for tips on how to use your computer. Whether it be how to do something, improve performance, or just a nifty setting that will make your life easier, you'll find it in a GeekByte post. This is my first for Technobabbles. Enjoy!

Tired of that annoying message when you're browsing the internet that says "A runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to debug?" Or how about "Internet Explorer Script Error. An error has occurred in the script on line 1. Do you wish to continue running scripts on this page?" Sound familiar? Well, there's a simple way to end the script misery.

Simply open Internet Explorer and click on the Tools menu. Choose Internet Options. Click on the Advanced tab (the last one in that box) and put a check in the box next to "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)." If you also have “Disable Script Debugging (Other)” place a check in this box also. Also, make sure the box next to "Display a notification about every script error" is unchecked. Click OK for the changes to take effect.
