I have a server running Windows Server 2008.

I'm using Windows Server Auditing to check when and by which user a folder is modified to determine who is modifying it as the modifications are causing problems.

I can see the log of the audit when a change is made in the System log.

How do I create a Custom View that will return all events from System log where a certain text (which is the folder name) is present? The create custom view doesn't seem to have that option.

I'm not sure whether it's possible via custom xml query or whether I'll need to export the system log to csv and search in Excel.
