Integrate into windows error messages

Hello,
I'd like to integrate my program into windows error message, so when an error message pops out, a button will appear on it.

I know it requires the use of un-managed code, yet I can't seem to find any information about it.

Any help will be appreciated.

What? Can you better explain that, or post a picture of what you are trying to replicate?

Is there any reason you can't just show a form, with the error message on it plus whatever button it is you want?

I'll try to explain better :
I'd like to create a "shortcut" to Google whenever windows pops out an error message. I'd like to add a button to every error message that is displayed so when the button is pressed, a Google search will be made using the error message.

I know you can copy the message using CTRL+C, or even rewrite it in Google; I'd like to do this automatically

Here a drawing of what I wish to accomplish.

Have you actually tried conducting a search? Using your exact example you get... nothing.

I'm not trying to discourage you - I just don't know if all the work to make it happen would be worth anything more than the educational experience of having done it.

Of course the example given won't yield any results on Google since It's just gibberish I made up for the example.
I'm talking about real error messages. Ever got those virtual memory errors that you don't really understand ? Or how about "memory could not be read" messages ?

So, can you point me to any resources ?

I don't know where to start in altering the O.S. created error messages, at an O.S. level.

Ever got those virtual memory errors that you don't really understand ? Or how about "memory could not be read" messages ?
Only from my own applications while under development when I was WAY too tired and shouldn't have been coding, causing me to do something silly. Not from the O.S. itself. Not from any released software. Where are you getting these messages from?
