I was having alot of crashes that related to the Dr watson debugger after my XP install with my new MB and proc. After a few days of putting up with it crashing every 20-30 mins i did a google search to find out how to turn it off. Here is the registrty string that you need to edit to turn off Dr Watson.
So far for me I have noticed no ill effects after 2 weeks without it.

I don't know about that one. I don't seem to have that folder either. The orginal instructions I looked up just had the registry string to alter, it did not mention deleting a log file. But since i don't have the folder it couldn't of been that important in the first place.
