I have often receibved popups using windows 2000 and XP saying there has
been an error and the program has been shutdown/restarted and "do you want
to send this error to microsoft?"

I never want to send any information to microsoft, however it's the
interactivity that annoys me, forever having to click dont send etc.

Is there anyway I can disable this reporting function ?

From Win XP Help & Support (F1)

To enable or disable error reporting
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, click Error Reporting.
Click Disable error reporting or Enable error reporting.

Notes

To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click System.
If you disable error reporting, you can still have Windows notify you when
an error occurs. To do so, select the But notify me when critical errors
occur check box.
To report operating system errors, select the Windows operating system check
box.
To report program errors for programs, such as Microsoft Word, select the
Programs check box.
