WriteLog.ini

Many of the features of WriteLog can be initiated or changed by modifying the writelog.ini file. If you open, edit, or save this file, always use a text editor only. Usually a program like NotePad is the one to use.

WriteLog.ini Location:

C:\Windows\writelog.ini for all operating systems except Vista.

C:\Users\USERXX\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\WriteLog.ini for the Vista Operating System

Note that with Vista a copy of the WriteLog.ini file does show up in C:\windows — but Vista does not allow WriteLog to use this file for security reasons, only the file in the C:\Users directory. Of course…
