event logs

Is there a way to extract all the event logs to an excel file?
thanks

I am having issues logging into Vista 5365 right now, so I am going to base this on XP. Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > (if you don't see the Classic menus, press "Alt" on your keyboard and they should appear.

I see what you are saying, the option you are trying to accomplish is not available when you select a folder. I will file a Suggestion/Wish on this. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Thanks.
PS. Now I have to find out what all the unknown items are. Vista will have a whole new learning curve to get around.
