I was looking for either a batch file, powerscript (not really good with yet)or any way to have my event logs exported to txt or csv on every start up? Im using windows 7 pro if that helps

This will output last 20 system event logs in eventlog.txt.Not sure what exactly you need from eventlog - it's a big place...

WEVTUtil query-events System /count:20 /rd:true /format:text > eventlog.txt

You can change System to Application,Security or Setup - not sure what exactly you need.

You can save this (or similar) command to bat file and schedule it on start-up
