Event Log Explorer: Another Way to Examine Log Files

If you find Windows XP's own Event Viewer helpful, you might like Event Log Explorer. This handy free utility duplicates the Windows event logs but adds several new features, including event descriptions that are viewable without your having to open a separate dialog box, log archives, and the ability to search events by date. The program also lets you save and load search settings, print log entries, and export them to multiple formats. You can get a copy of Event Log Explorer from our Downloads section.
