Turn Windows NOTEPAD into a dairy

Here is a real cool tip to write down any info on a day to day basis...

It simply serves as a virtual diary!
* Open a notepad and type .LOG (case sensitive) as the first line.
* Save and close the file.
* Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date
And time and places the cursor on the next line.
* 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 and placing the cursor below it.

  3. I have one question - Does notepad append date and time to the next line of the newly added text or does it append it at the end of the document.
    I mean, for someone writing an e-diary, it would be desirable if he starts writing at the top of the diary without scrolling down to the end.

  4. It will append it in the end. Just think about the normal diary. You start writing from top and append new text at bottom, it is also similar.
    The problem with writing at the top is, it won't be easily readable.

    As far as scrolling is concerned, it will automatically place the cursor in the end, so no need to scroll down.
