Where do I find the file on my XP Pro system that logs events such as crashes, etc.
Thanks!

Go to the Start Menu, then to Settings, then to the Control Panel. Go to Administrative Tools. Click on Error Log.

I am not certain if this works in XP, but my favorite tool in Windows 2000 is the compmgmt.msc tool. It will let you see all sorts of information -- logs, system information, and disks. It will also allow you to add/delete local users (assuming you have authority on the box to do so!).

Another good tool is the perfmon.msc for performance monitoring.

enjoy.

then select EVENTVIEWER. The following logs can be displayed (works in WinXP,Win2000):-
