You can turn on Auditing through the Local Security Policy:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security
Policy

Look in: Security Settings\Local Policy\Audit Policy

Enable Auditing (both Success and Failures) for the events you'd like to
have recorded in the Event Log.

For more info:

EventLog will allow to filter the events and then export them to a txt file.
Nothing fancy, but it might suit your needs.
