Hi'

I would like to skip some informational entries/events in the eventlog.
Some entries/events spam the eventlog log and i would like to disable them
getting to the eventlog.

Is this possible ?.

Thanks,

Henrik.
 
Henrik,

You will find all the event sources registered under [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog] key.

It may be hard to remove some entries in Event Log without modifying application sources which make calls to Even Log API.

You don't really have to use standard Event Log Viewer. You have more control over the logs through API. (search MSDN for
ReadEventLog)
Although I must admit the NT/XP Event Log APIs are poor compared, say, to Windows Event Log (WES) system that is going to be there
on Longhorn (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wes/wes/windows_event_log.asp).

You can also use Event Log Viewer filters. Although their functionality is pretty limited.
