Kill IE's Debug Bugging

If you recently upgraded to Internet Explorer 6 from an earlier version of the browser, you may have encountered an annoying new feature: script debugging. You're surfing along happily when suddenly a dialog box pops up alerting you to a script error in the site visited. Would you like to debug?

Why Microsoft enabled this handy troubleshooting tool for Web site developers in its browser is a mystery to me. Unless you're working the kinks out of a scripted Web site, it serves no purpose other than to slow down your browsing. To exterminate the feature, choose Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, check Disable script debugging, and click OK.
