Bootvis fastboot issue

I installed the Bootvis tool from microsoft a few days ago (on a winXP machine) to see if ti really improves boot times... (no big difference).
yesterday i noticed that i am losing disk space fast on my Win partition. when i checked it seems that this tool is creating a file called trace.log in windows/system32/logfiles/wmi. this file can become huge (several hundred mbs in no time). in the tool itself there is a menu command stop tracing, but i was wondering if anyone knows where i can stop it from starting on start-up.

thanks
 
What you did was cancel the bootvis operation, while it was running. When you start up your computer after you tell it to optimize/trace a boot, it will tell you to wait for BootVis to load. If you stop it, I have heard of it generating extreme amounts of logs. I have been using bootvis, since it came out, and I have noticed speed ups in starting my computer, about 10-14 seconds from first pushing the power button.

Also, I checked my system, and could not find a folder under system32 called logfiles.
 
Thanks,
actually I let it complete the operation, but still get the trace.log file (though it is much smaller...)

in any case - do you know how i can stop it from loading all together, or is it supposed to be a one time operation?
