Attaching Log File To Forum Post

===Description===
(((
When making a support request via a post on the [http://www.mymovies.dk/forum.aspx|My Movies - Forum] you may be asked to supply a log showing information to aid with your request.  This documentation explains how to generate the requested log file and attach it to a forum post.

'''Attach''' the log as opposed to copying it directly into the forum posting - the text can make the post extremely long and difficult to scroll through.

===Notes===
# [anchor|#note1]Only one of the Enable & Disable menu items may be enabled at a time, if the Disable menu item is enabled then logging is activated
# [anchor|#note2]Optional, but usually a good idea since the log file can become extremely large from prior runs
# [anchor|#note3]Should be the last one in the thread with your username
# [anchor|#note4]Location of log file differs by OS:
** Vista = C:\ProgramData\My Movies\log.txt
** XP (MCE2005) = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\My Movies\log.txt
# [anchor|#note5]Hidden folder in Vista, you will need to either configure your system to show hidden files or type the path directly into the Choose file dialog
# [anchor|#note6]Text on button may differ due to OS
# [anchor|#note7]Optional, but recommended since logging is only needed when trying to track down a specific issue
