Notepad - Logging tip

This is real cool for people who use notepad to write down any info on a day to day basis…

* Create a blank text file with .LOG (in caps) as the first line of the file, followed by a carriage return (Enter).

* Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.

* Type your notes and then save and close the file.

Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

Try to press F5 in notepad -- it adds date/time into current position.
