    How to clear events in viewer?


    How, in W7, does one clear the events? In vista, I went to actions and clear events. On W7, I do not see a clear events.

    Thanks

    I see you have to do each log. Cannot do at the Admin event view level.

    Thanks

    There is another way to mass-clear all event logs. Paul Black has a batchfile, which when run from the desktop, does the job en toto. It's called Event_Viewer_Clear_ALL_Logs.bat. I do not know how to embed that bat file into a reply in this forum. And when you do run it, do not close the DOSbox nor let anything else interfere with the operations. It will very clearly let you know when it has done its job.

    "...TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager (Operational File) TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager (Operation File)..." restore lost records? You can ask PaulBlack and Snick if that is possible.
