Notepad is the most simplest text editor that every windows user has got access to. Here are some things that we often miss out even if we use Notepad very often. These have been tested on Notepad ver. 5.1 and the Notepad that came with Microsoft Windoes 98 and should work well with other versions too. Here we go...
* You can use notepad to create a log file. Add ' .LOG ' to the beginning of a text document [ without the quotes ] and save it. The next time you open it the current system time and date is added to the document. So the text document works like a log file. Note that the word LOG is preceded by a dot [ . ] .
* Notepad can be launched by simply typing 'Notepad' or 'notepad' in the 'Run' Window [ without the quotes ] which can be brought up quickly by pressing the 'Windows Logo Key' + 'R'
* You can insert the current time and date [ as specified by your system clock ] in to Notepad by simply pressing F5.
* Notepad can open virtually any kind of file and is a good try for the file types that you do not know.
