How do you create Event Viewer subfolders?

[PPettit]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to programmatically create subfolders in Event Viewer?

I'm going to create a few logs that are related, so I want them to be grouped together. Since Event Viewer only recognizes the first eight characters of a log, I can't really have them all begin with the same name (MyEventLog1, MyEventLog2, etc). My thought was to create a subfolder named something like "MyEventLogGroup" and then place "Log1", "Log2", etc. within it. Nothing I've tried so far has worked, and Googling turned up nothing that was very useful. Anyone have any suggestions?

I never actually had to do that, but I did have bookmarked a discussion on the topic "for future reference" in case I ever got the need. Although I haven't dug into it more than briefly read it, here's the link, hopefully it'll help you.
