Tip from a reader: .LOG-trick for the "Notepad"

Lifehacker.ru have already developed active community of readers who send links to interesting articles, as well as share their own secrets and tips. Igor Karpinski tells about a new way of using "Notepad". Here is his letter in full, as-is:

I want to share a trick that I use for a long time and with success. It is no secret that very often need to quickly write something. For example, a quote from a web page or phone number. Or who knows what else. There are two requirements: that would be fast, and what then could make out the mountain of records.

Many windows-users do not know that in the program "Notepad" is a simple little feature: if you write ".LOG", at the beginning of a text file each time you open a file thereof cursor will move to the end, and the current date will be automatically placed in front of him and time.

Accordingly, we start just a file Log.txt and take out the label in an easily accessible place for it (e.g., in the quick launch bar). Voila, a notebook ready.

Thanks Igor!
