Recently the c:winnt\debug\usermode\userenv.log started growing uncontrolably. This is on my home win2k pro machine. I am not using the machine much - basically email and some gaming currently, and this log will grow to 1.5gb in a couple of weeks. I cannot find anytthing on the internet that addresses this. I am also an Oracle dba and recently cleaned all oracle components off the box and this problem started after that. Perhaps a registry setting got changed somewhere. Other than this there is no unusual behavior or response time on the box. I first noticed it when I could not read my email. I would open emails and they would be blank. After I discovered by 4gb C: drive was completely full because this log was nearly 2gb in size and then I deleted it, I could then again read the email ok. I have virus checked the drive and found nothing. If I delete this log within 60 sec it is up to 200kb and seems to grow by 17k to 64k every time I ckick it..

Check to see if Auditing has been turned on for any files/folders on your PC.
Go into the Event Log (Control Panel, Administration tools, Event Logs). Click Security in the left plain and see if there is any entries in the right plain. If there isn't then Auditing is not turned on. New Zealand, a great place to live.

eventlog auditing is off - this log filled the C drive by expanding to 12.4 GB just since I last posted here. It automatically restarted and these are the very first entries. Note that the last 3 entries keep repeating. I formerly had an Oracle db on this machine but wiped out all trace of oracle using the 'clean machine' procedure (I am an Oracle dba) approach, deleted all the registry and program files entries, and deleted oracle from the path. I am stumped.

The problem is with your user profiles.
Try this..
Rename the USERENV.DLL file in the \WINNT\SYSTEM32 (or whatever your system folder is) folder to something different (eg USERENV.OLD).
Copy the USERENV.DLL off your Win2k CD into \WINNT\SYSTEM32 and see if the problem goes away.

Use the Recovery Console to rename the DLL.
I would copy the replacement USERENV.DLL from your CD onto the C drive in Win2k.
Then boot off the Win2k CD and take the R (Repair) option and go into the Recovery Console (Win2k version of DOS) and then rename and copy the DLL.

Go to actions in the event viewer
then properties
if the default of 512 is there and manual delete (or erase) is not checked and you are writing to 12gb you have a bigger problem than a missing folder.
setting the log size and telling it to overwrite when full will only cure the symptom but it should let you use yoyr PC while you look for a cure.
