How to open evt file via DOS command

[Guest]

I have been looking online for help regards to this question.
i work with event viewers on a daily basis and it's such a hassle to use the
eventvwr.msc GUI and look for a specific evt file among hundreds.
What I'd like to do is write an app in either VB6, C# .NET, VB .NET, or C++
which allow me to right click and evt file. The routine that the right-click
context menu calls, will take the path of the clicked evt file, asks the user
if it is Application, System, or Security and somehow pass this as arguments
to my app.

I haven't been able to find any help on how to use eventvwr.msc with
arguments.
I would appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Sounds like a good idea.

Any reason you've posted this to a newsgroup that deals with VBA code in
Access, the database product that's part of Office Professional?

Not exactly relevant to Access, but if you select "Run" from the start menu
and type "MMC", you can build and save your own management console with as
many event viewers as you wish, from as many nodes as you wish, by machine
name, across the entire network.
