is there a better way to get to the system event log than using eventvwr.msc at a c prompt?

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.

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 you have a desktop icon "Computer", simply right-click on it and select
"Manage"

Takes you to the Computer Management windows where you can select the Event
Viewer.
