    Hi IUseWindows7, welcome to 7F! :)

    You could try
    Code:
    %Logs%
    in the Start >Search box for starters.

    Right click on any entry, and open or open CMD window here.

    You could also try
    Code:
    C:\PerfLogs

    I did not use the search in the Explorer window I used the Start >search box.Windows 7 log locations?-1a.jpg

    When, if at any time have you Indexed your machine? Index - Rebuild

    Your welcome.

    Do not be alarmed if the process takes a while.

    There are ways to create .bat files to automatically delete log files that are older than what you would like to keep, and that is the rub; you have to know which ones you can safely delete, and which ones do you need for future reference?

    Unfortunately I am not a .bat file master
