I’ve just found your website and after failing to find a solution to fix a problem in Windows 7, I would like to ask here if you can help me please?

My question is with regard to clearing the log in Administrative Events found in the Control Panel under AdministrativeTools/Event Viewer of Windows 7. I can clear the contents of all other logs in event viewer because each entry has a “clear log” option when you ‘right-click’ it, but Administrative Events does not have the “clear log” option.

At the moment, the “Administrative Event” log has 207 events and I would like to clear it.

Regards

Dave

I had that happen to me, and I discovered that someone on another continent was trying to break into my computer using a program that was trying different passwords on my FTP server. So, as the article says, one should really find out why the event log is filling up.

I did 2 things to put a stop to it. I renamed the built-in “Administrator” account to something else, and I turned off the FTP server that comes with XP because it does not have a feature that will limit connection attempts.

You can also Clear all Events from the same context menu as well

This is a nice tweak to increase the event log file size.
