I want to remove some "directory" of the event viewer like this usesless ones :"netlimiter" "aceeeventlog"
I already tried to shutdown the event logger service, then reboot, then delete *.evt files concerned, but when first time rebrowsing eventviewer (eventvwr.msc) these previously deleted files, are backed up from somewhere i have no clue...

	If I'm understanding you correctly... Remove [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\<LogNameYouWantToGetRidOf>]. Then reboot. Edited by molotov - 24 November 2006 at 8:31pm
