Description
Wish to turn off all logging in Vbox for Windows. Tried "VBoxManage setproperty loghistorycount 0" as recommended in forum but logs are still being produced despite loghistorycount being set to 0. Logs produced are selectorwindow.log and VBoxSVC.log. Logs are produced anew for each session i.e. VBoxSVC.log.1 etc.

The correct way to completely disable logging is to set environment variables. You might want to set these variables in the global user variables:
VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_DEST=nofile VBOXSVC_RELEASE_LOG_DEST=nofile VBOX_GUI_SELECTORWINDOW_RELEASE_LOG_DEST=nofile

Didn't notice until just now: I tried to change the logging location by changing the snapshot folder. The VBoxSVC.log is now being produced in 2 locations, the original c:/documentsAndSettings folder AND in the folder I set for snapshot location.
