    Event log keeps logging events even if disabled??


    Hi there!
    I need event log help...i already searched everything possible but cant find an answer. I need event viewer to stop recording any events...i disabled it from whereever possible...services,regedit and everywhere else...i restart the computer and it shows the event log is disabled....once i enable it again it shows all the events..even the once which are during the time when it was disabled. How to permanently stop it from logging anything? Or at least how to clear all the logs,specially the one that shows that logs were cleared. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Help please...

    Thanks

    HEllo, im afraid i don't know the answer.

    But i would like to know why, if/when you have a problem with your computer it will be very hard to find the fault of your problem!

    I really wonder why you will want to disable event logging, but you may want. :)

    See here: Enable disable event log service

    Bookmark this page, lest you want to enable it at a certain time. Because, as Harrie said, it is not a desirable situation.
