There are *many* who have have asked about this. In general, I think, the consensus is if you want to completely remove the log, use sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db. Make sure to backup your database and log file before attempting to do this.

If you want to keep your log from growing, there are a couple of things you can do. If you rely on transaction log backups, then you need to backup the log more often. If you don't take log backups, then set 'truncate log on checkpoint' to true (7.0) or recovery model to simple (2000).

As for shrinking the file, use dbcc shrinkfile.
