How to stop IE asking which debugger to choose when **trying** to debug?

Question

When debugging in Internet Explorer; I first get an alert box with extremely limited if not useless information (sorry IE) and choice to debug it; After selecting yes; I get another option every time to chose between 'New instance of Microsoft script debugger' and 'New instance of Visual studio'. I'm fed up of having to click the yes button again after having clicking it once already on the alert box.

Update: I found that you can disable the microsoft script debugger from within its own options; just disabling the JIT debugger from Tools -> Options, and JIT. This stops it appearing on the menu but now I get the dialog box asking me which one to choose and it only displays the one Visual Studio - WHY? If there's only one option and you've already asked me if I want to debug, why ask again?!?! Bleh.

can you tell I'm getting sick of clicking, "yes" twice? Lol.

Apparently the problem happens if you do not uninstall the old (crappy) Microsoft Script Debugger before you install the newer Microsoft Script Editor.

You would think that all you need to do is to uninstall the old debugger - however, according to a blog posting (which I can't recall at the moment), if you uninstall the Microsoft Script Debugger at this point, it will mess up the MSE and you will have to reinstall the MSE again. I am on a tight schedule now so I don't have the time to fix the problem properly - just living with it as best as I can.
