Loging in Notepad: A Neat Trick

Do you keep a diary (or the more manly version…a journal or chronicles)? Or do you wish to keep notes where the notes keep the date automatically? Well here is an awesome trick for you. All you need is notepad.
1) Open a blank notepad file.
2) Type .LOG in all caps at the top and hit enter.
3) Now save the file.
4) After closing the file, reopen it and notice that the date & time is now listed on the second line.
5) Also notice that the cursor is ready for you to start typing on the very next line.
6) Now every time you open it, type something on the next line and then save it, when you reopen it, it will have automatically saved the date and time on the last line.



This is not all, if you want it automated everytime you edit a file than this is useful, but if you want specifically at some point of time. Just press F5 the time stamp is added to the current cursor position.

I hope this helps a lot of users.
Isn't this Cool...!!!
