Event Viewer Access Denied

I had a frustrating morning today when the event viewer told me I didn’t have access to view the event log.

Seems that this was caused by my user acount being a member of the ‘Guests’ group. This is what I did to resolve the issue. Go to: Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users > Click on your current username > Click on the ‘Member of’ tab > Find the user group called ‘Guests’ and click remove You have to log off and on for this change to take effect.
