I have a vb6 project, that sometimes when compiled, generates a file on the
desktop called event.log. This can occur in windows xp or windows vista. I
haven't got any app.logevents calls in my project at all.

All I want to achieve is for this file to not appear at all, or if it can't
be turned off, then for it to be created in another folder.

This has been bugging me for some months now!

Thanks in advance for any help

No Addins? No 3rd party designers? No 3rd party controls?

[Another possiblity is 'App.StartLogging'

What's inside the file?

fwiw, Event logging only happens from a compiled app.

The only addins we use are XceedZip (for file compression), GBSchedule (for
calender displaying), and RTF21 (from Lebans) for full richtextbox
justification.
