Log files can exist in many forms: - you can log to a .txt or .log file, and when you do you can append to the end of it (a historical file) or overwrite what is already there (a record of the most recent program execution) - you can log to the Windows Event Log (viewable via the Control Panel) - you can log to custom binary files that aren't easily understandable when you examine them with an editor like Notepad Often, each application has its own log file. Ex: hijackThis generates a log file, Norton generates a log file, and the app we are writing at work generates a log file.
