What version of WG are you using?
Ver. 5 & 6 have registry entries that point to locations of log files that can be changed without a reinstall. If you feel comfortable making changes to the registry I think this will accomplish what you want to do. I strongly advise to back up WG registry before doing any changes to registry entries. If you are OK with this, stop WG, run regedit and modify the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Qbik Software\WinGate\Settings has the entries for the location of log and audit directories
The registry key LogFileDirectory has default of x:\Program Files\WinGate\logs where x is the drive selected upon install. Modify that key to the destination of your choosing and you should be OK. Restart WG and log files should be wriiten to new location. Hope this helps.

I was having a similar problem. None of my log files were showing up after i tried to audit a user. I located this registry entry and noticed the registy was pointed to my cd-rom drive, so i changed them and it worked great.....THANKS CHRISH
