Re: [Dev-C++] Res: Clear/Delete a file that it is been used by services.exe

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Most operating systems are written in C or C++, so if something is
possible to do in any language, it is most probably also possible using C
or C++.

The API you are interested in is called ClearEventLog().

Google should be able to supply the required information about how to use
it.

There is also the function BackupEventLog().
