Trace Log

This is a discussion about Trace Log in the Everything New Technology category; I have Windows XP Pro. I have recently noticed that the trace. log found under C:\Windows\System 32\LogFiles\ WMI has been growing way out of proportion- up to 1. 5 gigs in size. I have all counters disabled with exctrlst.

I have Windows XP Pro. I have recently noticed that the "trace.log" found under C:\Windows\System 32\LogFiles\ WMI has been growing way out of proportion- up to 1.5 gigs in size.
I have all counters disabled with exctrlst.exe but this sucker still grows. Thankfully I can dual boot and delete this monster on the Win2K side of this machine. Any ideas on what is going on and how to disable this?
Thanks

OP
Found the problem. It was bootvis. I had set it up to run 2 passes and then optimize. I had to interrupt it after the first pass and chose to optimize at that point. Even the the operation seemed to be complete, it wasn't. I re-ran bootvis for 1 pass and optimized and the problem is now solved.
