Description
Stores the location of the file that contains values for variables in the event description. This file is optional.
The descriptive text in the event message file can contain variables. The variables indicated by %n are resolved by substituting data from the event record. The variables indicated by %%n are resolved by substituting text from a parameter message file (stored in the ParameterMessageFile entry). The Event Log service locates the correct values and replaces the variables before displaying the text in the Description field in Event Viewer.
Change Method
You can change this entry only by editing the registry.
Note
- The same file can be used as the value of the EventMessageFile, CategoryMessageFile, and ParameterMessageFile entries.
