Even though it doesn't explain how to read the file type, FILExt.com is a good source of file-extension definitions (now that Extsearch.com no longer exists).
Repeat after me: "Microsoft Usability Lab" (howls of derisive laughter, Bruce :).

| For me, it's the fourth icon from the left, not the right. So I click that and get a file explorer, click the file I want to open, and ... and ... and ... it goes off without complaining and not opening any file. [ Reply to This ]

| Hey Lewis, I had the same problem, until I saved the monitoring settings (.msc) from the original PC and loaded them on the PC I was using to read the log. [ Reply to This ]

| If you opent the log file, and nothing seems to happen, it's because you still have to specify what counters you want to view, by pressing the "+" icon. [ Reply to This ]

Thanks Dave, you spared me some time!
PS, here's the official way as specified in the MS helpfiles. (I prefer yours though!)
To use logged data
Open Performance.
Right-click the System Monitor details pane and click Properties.
Click the Source tab.
Under Data Source, click Log File, and type the path to the file or click Browse to browse for the log file you want.
Click Time Range. To specify the time range in the log file that you want to view, drag the bar or its handles for the appropriate starting and ending times.
Click the Data tab and click Add to open the Add Counters dialog box. The counters you selected during log configuration are shown. You can include all or some of these in your graph.
Notes
To open Performance, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Performance.
Unless you specifically want to monitor start-up events, you should exclude times that include such events from your time window because these temporary high values tend to skew overall performance results.
The button on the toolbar is disabled when you are viewing log data.
You can also view counter-log data by opening files that have been saved in comma-separated or tab-separated format using Microsoft Excel.

Answered my own question:
Took advantage of WinXP relog.exe capabilites and transferred the file to a Winxp machine.
1) Go to the cmd prompt and get to the folder containing the file you want to change and type:
relog filname.blg -f CSV -o newfile.csv
2) transfer the file back to your Win2000 machine
Now you can view it in csv format.

Glad I found your site, Google indexes it. Yes it was pretty confusing. First I found the disk icon, opened the file, then what? Wasn't clear to me that I have to then add the performance counters into the graph..
Thanks Microsoft, that's very intuitive...[ Reply to This ]

Rediculous that through all the help files on how to create the damn files there is no details on how to read the things !!!!, I now need to find out how to read the .ETL files !!.
Thanks for this info though.
