Does anyone have a batch file to clear the event log? I
know there's one in Visual Basic, but can this be done in
dos? I already made a script to format, rename, and copy
files to a central location, but would like to clear the
log after this occurs on a weekly/daily basis? Any
ideas??? Thanks.
Not batch-only but:
