GFI Mail Essentials Debug Logs and disk fragmentation

I often find that the disk which has GFI Mail Essentials installed has fragmentation issues and the files that are fragmented are the Debug log files. These files are not needed unless you need to debug, but the setting is on by default and causes your disk to become fragmented.

I switch these off unless I need to debug and keep my drive from fragmenting. You can switch the debug logs off in the registry here

GFI MailEssentials version 2010(x86): - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI\ME15\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 2010(x64): - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\GFI\ME15\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 14(x86): - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI\ME14\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 14(x64): - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\GFI\ME14\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 12(x86): - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI\ME12\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 12(x64): -[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\GFI\ME12\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 11: - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI\ME11\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 10: - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI\ME10\Config]
GFI MailEssentials version 9: - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFI Fax & Voice\ME9\Config]

A dword value named ‘debug’ should be found in this location. If the value does not exist a new DWORD value called ‘debug’ should be created manually.

Change the ‘debug’ dword value as follows:
To disable debug logging, change the ‘debug’ dword value to ‘0’
To enable debug logging, change the ‘debug’ dword value to ‘1’

Once complete restart the IISAdmin Services and GFI Mail Essentials Services. Then you can delete the actual log files.
