Nope, it's the right file. In fact, none of the files in that directory seem to be readable. Maybe it actually IS a registry setting somewhere.:-)
aside from some non-standard characters and spacing between letters, it's completely readable.
So, can you tell me what is actually says in your example, apart from the datestamp? What does a disk read error look like, for example? That's the one I would have wanted to know about before going home for the weekend while the server happily thrashed a few hundred gigs of pr0n.
OK, let's try it raw (the previous was saved in notepad, read back in because it contained characters that Slash couldn't handle. This little bit seems to work. And no, I don't call this plain-text, even though parts of it is plain enough. No datestamps, nothing except parts of messages. Is there a "Create legible logfiles" option in the registry that you have found and turned on?

Really? Do you claim C:\WINNT\security\edb.log is plain text just because it doesn't contain any Unicode characters? C:\WINNT\system32\LogFiles would be a nice place for the logs, but it only contains the IIS logfiles. C:\WINNT\Debug has a few other logfiles, but nothing consistent and no system.log like you'll see in the Event Viewer.
OK, I'll end the suspense. The system log is at C:\WINNT\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt . First place to look for a log file that is, the config directory. Yep. Sure.
BTW, I dare you to read that logfile in Notepad. It ain't plain-text.
Då får du nog ta upp dem till Canada eller så, här har det varit dåligt med snö ett par vintrar... Jag säger till när Golfströmmen slagit av, då borde det vara läge.:-/
Okay, so in order to figure out if my drive is going south I need to check the event log every day?
When I figured that one out the hard way was also the exact moment I decided to convert from Windows on the servers to Linux. Real servers log plain-text.
Try an ASUS. They're very quiet and come with ATA-100, just for the bragging rights. As for hard drives, I've found that the latest crop of modern fluid bearing drives are very, very quiet. Think Seagate Barracudas, Samsung and some of the newer Maxtors. For case fans, I use temp-controlled Papst ball-bearing fans, preferably 12cm if the case allows it (slower revs with same airflow).
You need to listen to some of the newer models of hard drives. Like the Seagate Barracudas, or any modern (last six months or so) Samsung or Maxtor. I can barely hear some of my year-old 'cudas when they step but in the newer ones I can't even hear that. No spinning noise whatsoever escape the case. Coupled with slow 12cm Papst case fans, the large temp controlled Arctic Cooling CPU fans and a Zalman heatpipe for the graphics, there's just the PSU fan left to hear over the low *woosh* of airflow in the case vents and the intermittent sound of the DVD player (ASUS works wonders here).
Git yer ass up here some day and I'll show you. There's really no need to keep your computers in a cupboard anymore.;-)
That would be easy, ever dropped anything from an overpass on passing cars? It's not much different. A little boost to get it going after that it's a mater of dropping it in the right spot.

Can't do that. Steve Ballmer's lawyers would be on him like flies on shit.
I thought it was Saddam Bin Laden that bombed Pearl Harbour?

Now, let's see what Slashcode does to this snippet from my logfile (actually, one of my customer's):

I don't suppose it has a spell checker?

He's probably on the ActiveX team and not really used to the concepts of "security" and "secrets".
Aye, pre-1880 levels. Let them try hijacking horse-pulled buggies and drive them into buildings!
I remember when that saying went "No one ever got fired for buying IBM" and it's really not that long ago... Things change. Always have, always will.

Now, is it just me and Bruce Willis, or did you like Hudson Hawk too?
Yep. I've read LOTR straight through once and I do read quite a lot faster than most people.

I don't think it's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be educational. BTW, I wrote a JE a while back with this very idea: Prior Art.
Point. But what does that make American corporations?
There are 40 billion counterexamples to that theory.
They're not out to make friends. They're out to make money.
Ohh, suddenly I feel all validated... :-)
"We have been played" is kinda funny in the context.
