    If I am understanding the question correctly, are you asking how to clear the log entries from Administrative events, correct?

    The answer is: You can't. This is because this is not actually a log. It is a display filter or a custom view of data located elsewhere in various logs. It is simply gathering and displaying entries from the actual logs based upon a set of criteria. To clear the entries that you see here, you would need to actually go into all the other logs and delete the log entries that this filter includes.

    You can clear the logs! You need to download a batch file Clear_Event_Viewer_Logs from Clear All Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows
    This will erase all the logs in your event viewer, if that is what you'are after!

    BLaZiNgSPEED,

    I should have been clearer in my post for others reading this thread. "Administrative events" is NOT a log. It is a filter. The original post specifically stated that they only wanted to clear Administrative events and not any of the actual Log Files.

    Therefore, I stand by my response.
