how can I filter results within Event Viewer of Windows 7?

Hello and Good Evening Everybody,

           I am wondering if I can filter the entries within Event Viewer of Windows 7.  For instance, I would like to see all Critical Errors within the category of System neatly organized and separate from the normal information entries.  At the moment, I have to do a lot of scrolling to view critical errors and warnings.  A filtering system would certainly simplify the use of Event Viewer and allow for quicker diagnosis of a software or hardware issue.

           Any follow up suggestions for achieving this goal will be greatly appreciated.

           Thank you

           George

Hello Nobus,

           Thank you so much for the graphical illustration.  I apologize for not specifying my region, but, I am in the U.S.  Could you provide a translated graphical illustration?  That will allow me to make sure that I am on the same page with you.

            Thanks again.

Hello and Good Evening Everybody,

              I must apologize for the delay in getting back to this post.  I have found myself indulged by other open post which is certainly permitting the opportunity to learn about other areas of interest.  At any rate, I greatly appreciate the insightful feedback given.  The images provided by VB ITS certainly did help in gaining a mental picture of the logistics involved in using the filter in event viewer of Windows 7.  

              Many thanks once again.

Hello

        I certainly understand your point nobus.  Please let me know what I can do to correct this situation so we can all walk away from it feeling good : - )  Besides, I want to be fair about this.

        Thanks

        George
nobus should not complain. I had already answered the question and he jumped in with the same answer, albeit with a pic, to try and get some points. He didn't even answer in English, even though the answer was asked in English.
Thanks for the points GMartin.
i did not complain - and you should not do anything George; i merely mentioned  that i was not happy
and the reason i post a picture is because you did not post it, akb; and many people have trouble finding the proper option
