The Event Viewer is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. You
can start Event Viewer by adding the snap-in to MMC or by
double-clicking the snap-in file, Eventvwr.msc, which is located in the
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32 folder. In addition, Event Viewer can be started
from the Windows interface or the command line by using the following
procedures.
To start Event Viewer by using the Windows interface:

2. Click Control Panel.
