It is possible to create a small executable in order to show or hide the event viewer dialog box. To do that there is a free and simple software named AutoHotKey. This windows utility is able to script everything in windows environment but that is not the point of this article. Here we just provide a simple script which must be compiled as an executable with AutoHotKey Compiler.
With notepad create a file named HideObs.ahk for exemple and add these 2 lines in it:
WinHide, PcVue – Observateur d’événements
WinHide, PcVue – Event viewer

Note that you can add other lines if PcVue language is not French nor English.
Then with AutoHotKey Compiler you will have to compile this file to create HideObs.exe
