Hello, today I want to share a method to get the classic Event Viewer from XP in newer versions of Windows!

To get this, you need to first open a command prompt window as administrator

Then, run the following command: regsvr32 els.dll

If everything went right you should see a dialog saying this:

After which, you can open the Microsoft Management Console (mmc) and go to File > Add/Remove Snap-in. In there, you should see a new entry called Classic Event Viewer.

Here is how it looks:

Here is the Windows XP version to compare:

Note: this was tested on Windows 8.1, not sure if will work in Windows 10.

Alcatel: there's SCT branding scattered around the system I guess Mar 23, 2023 19:20:18 GMT -8

bran: SCT contains quite a few dialogs that open on startup. There might be a way to disable them but I still don't like all that baggage running at startup Mar 24, 2023 4:01:33 GMT -8
