How do I disable werfault.exe for my app?

Question

I have to run this program millions of times. It's not the most stable beast, and it crashes around 5% of the time. When this happens, I don't want a popup, or WerFault to take 30 sec to take a dump, or anything - I just want it to silently and immediately disappear, and I'll figure out it crashed from the process exit code.

I already have Windows Error Reporting Service disabled, and my AEDebug key deleted. However, werfault is still trying to take a dump on crash. Help?

That can be annoying... especially if you're doing a lot of code-debug-compile-deploy-test iterations.

It looks like there are a couple of registry entries here that help control the behavior: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb513638(VS.85).aspx
