I put a shortcut with the target C:\Windows\system32\compmgmt.msc into my Start menu. I didn't create a new shortcut, preferring instead to use the existing shortcuts. (The following is from memory since I'm not on a Win 7 system at the moment.) In the Start menu, right click on Computer. On the Desktop, right click on Computer. In Win Explorer, right click on This PC. In each of the three cases, click on Manage in the pop-up context menu to bring up the Management Console. Clicking on the shortcut gives me the Computer Management window, which includes navigation to [System Tools Event Viewer Windows Logs]. At Windows Logs, the separately selectable events are Application, Security, Setup, System, and Forwarded Events. Some people prefer to bring up the individual management modules without the Management Console framework, but (my) monitors are plenty big that I don't mind the framework at all, especially since I usually visit two or more modules when I'm in there. For merely viewing events, I also have FullEventLogView.exe and EventLogChannelsView.exe from http://www.nirsoft.net/. I am not sure of the usefulness of EventLogChannelsView.exe. -- Char Jackson |

And yet another way (in addition to the other suggestions) is to right-click on the [My] Computer desktop icon and select Manage. (Oops, see Char suggested this one up to right-clicking on the [My] Computer desktop icon.) Personally, I just enter eventvwr.msc in the Start menu's search box. |

If it's something you use frequently, you could pin it to your start menu or to your taskbar, or just create a shortcut to it. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |

For things I use somewhat - but not very - frequently and for which I know the name - i.e. in this case eventvwr.msc -, I use the (Start -) 'Run...' box, instead of the search box. The 'Run' function keeps a list of recently used entries - unless you clear it - so it's easy to scroll through the list and select the entry you want. Some things I have in the services.msc msconfig cleanmgr C:\Windows\System32\eventvwr.exe :-) Some paths to 'weird' locations, for example: C:\Users\Frank\Documents\Thunderbird\Profiles\dm6d 6ro1.default\Mail\Local Folders |
