Useful trick for Notepad in Windows

Have you ever wanted to record information in notepad and automatically have the date and time inserted?

Well now you can.

Open notepad and insert the following:

.LOG

Now save the document as <filename>.log

Also change the "Save as type" to "All Files", this is to prevent notepad saving the document as <filename>.log.txt


(Remember to replace <filename> with the actual name of the document you want to save as)

Now every time you open this document, the current date and time will be entered in for you.

Easy huh?
