These settings specify where the Scheduling Agent (Task Scheduler) should write the log file and the maximum log file size (in KB).

Open your registry and find the key below.

Change the string value called "LogPath" to equal the required log filename (default is C:\Windows\SchedLgU.Txt).

Change the DWORD value called "MaxLogSizeKB" to equal the maximum size of the log file in KB.

Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
LogPath	REG_SZ	%SystemRoot%\SchedLgU.Txt
MaxLogSizeKB	REG_DWORD	0x00000020 (32)


	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SchedulingAgent

Settings:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SchedulingAgent]
Name: LogPath, MaxLogSizeKB
