Time-Stamp Your Notes
Notepad is fairly basic, but it can do some nice tricks that few people know about. For instance, you can use the program to keep time- and date-stamped notes, such as records of phone calls, and it will do the stamping for you. Create a file in Notepad that starts with the text string .LOG (yes, it must start with a period and be entirely uppercase). This must be the only text on the first line of the file. Now every time you load that file, Notepad will insert the time and date at the bottom of the text.
