Default Use Notepad as a Diary :A new useful utility come and try


Hi guys,
try this you may find it useful!
For people who use notepad to write down any info on a day to day basis
(//like diary//):

1. Open a blank Notepad file

2. Write .LOG as the first line of the file, followed by a enter. Save
the file and close it.

3. Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the

current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on
the line after.

4. Type your notes and then save and close the file.

5. Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending
the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

Regards
Vaid

Default Re: Use Notepad as a Diary :A new useful utility come and try

Try this trick too:

Open notepad and type:

Bush hid the facts

Then save it as a .txt file with any name.
Open it again and see..wow...where did that text go????

Actually there is a major bug in notepad.. it does not show text in ASCII and converts it to Unicode whenever any text in the following combination of letters is written....

ABCD ABC ABC ABCDE or 1111 222 333 55555

Wasn't that interesting?

PS: u can type anything in that format: 4-3-3-5
