Default Application, Security and System log files - where are they located

REVISED SLIGHTLY . . .

Hi,

On a daily basis, under Administrative Tools / Event Viewer, I inspect the
Application, Security and System log files. When there are no problems, I
manually clear each log file.

I am getting tired of manually clearing these log files and unless there
is
a simpler method, I would like to create a BATCH file program to delete
the
individual files that are created. Unfortunately, I do not know how or
where they are written. According to its properties, Event Viewer is
located in %SystemRoot%\system32\ directory, however, I do not find any
log
files there.

AnnaMarie -

I can offer no help with getting you nearer a solution as posed than what
you've discovered for yourself, but can't help wondering why you feel the
need to inspect the logs every day. Is it a "just-in-case" maintenance
thing, or are you looking out for something in particular? Also, why the
need to clear them down every day? - they don't take up much disk space at
all....
