Hi guys, I've searched for this but am unable to find the answer. Host is Windows XP Sp3. Vbox version is 4.2.16. I would like turn off all logging. Can this be done? Thank you.

Yes but the question is why? If you need assistance and don't have the log file no one can help you.

I turn off logging in all programs once I have them stable. It's just a preference.

See VBoxManage setproperty in your Users manual. LogHistoryCount
But as I said turning this off will negate any assistance you may need.

Thank you.

OK, I ran VBoxManage setproperty loghistorycount 0 . Appeared to execute, no errors, but logs still produced. Assume 0 wasn't the right answer?

VBoxManage list systemproperties should show if the count is right.

Shows as 0 but still produces logs. No worries, thanks for trying.

I did test this myself and it does produce a single log file if set to zero. I assume that is by design but if you really want to shut them off ( it used to work ), you would need to post a ticket at bugtracker.

Thank you Perry. I appreciate your time

Didn't notice this until until just now but I think there actually is a bug here.

I tried to change the logging location by setting the snapshot folder. The VBoxSVC.log is now being produced in 2 locations, the original c:/documentsAndSettings folder AND in the folder I set for snapshot location.

I'm going set back to what it was and see what happens
