I didn't want my bot to log all those joins, parts, quits etc.
so I thought that removing the j would solve this as the

Check the log settings displayed from the output of dcc command .status all and re-check the flags that way.

I did restart several times, and im using Windrop v1.6.18 and yes im well aware of this is not a windrop forum, however, I think I need to mention this:
http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=15352

I did a conversion of a mIRC log to eggdrop log, and the mIRC had quits, and parts etc.
After the convertion where everything ran fine, thus still showing quits etc. AND using just p in logfil parameters, it still showed everything, so I guess my convertion messed up since it still keps all the reason quits etc.

Yesterday I tried with a fresh new eggdrop log, using only p
and that works as it should, only logging normal chat, but it's sad if I can't use the "big" log.

Is there a way to "clean" a log from quits, parts and all that?

That would explain alittle, yes..
Changing logging-settings will not affect what has been logged sofar, only what will be logged in the future.

As for "cleaning" your logfiles, I'd recommend writing a simple script using pattern-matching (such as regular expressions).
If you got some tool such as grep, you could try something like this, I suppose:

Log settings only apply to what the bot logs, not to what you put in there.
This issue is an operator problem.
You will have to "clean" the log yourself. Since you are doing this on a Windows machine, I do not know an "easy" way to remove the unwanted entries on Win32 as it can be done with sed on a UNIX-like operating system.

Speaking of sed, I got sed working on windows, using links in the topic I linked to in an earlier post in this topic, so if you could show or tell me what commands/parameters used in unix, maybe I could try and use it, and I would like thank you all for replying to my questions eventhough this is regarding my windrop and not my other eggs who are running under linux.

But as I asked, I would be thrilled if you could point me in the right direction regarding the sed and how to remove unwanted entries in unix.

*EDIT* I used google and found help here: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

cat logfile.log | sed -e '/QUIT/d' -e '/JOIN/d' -e '/PART/d' > newlog.log && mv newlog.log logfile.log
