Where does Windows XP store the error log file.?

Question

I wanted to know if I can open the error log file manually instead of going to event viewer. Is it a separate txt file? Thank you.

Answer 1

hm it is very unlikely that this is just a plain old text file.

With the type of data it has, I'd guess it's binary... and hard to find.

Answer 2

Any of the error log file is only created when the computer reboots after the error & performs chk disc..............The log is save in the windows drive for eg. if C: is the windows drive the log file will be stored in c:\

......................................... if this works.

Answer 3

they are stored in the Windows > System32 > Config folder

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config
