My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.

  I hope these tips don't result in a rash of "I knew that" replies, but they 
were new to me.  Using Notepad to create a Log file.

   

  Did you know that you can press the F5 key in Windows Notepad to add your 
System's date and time?

   

  And did you know that the process can be automated? 

   

  In Notepad, open a new file, type .LOG on the first line and press Enter.  
That's dot L O G Enter.  (Upper case letters)

   

  Now save this file where you can get at it easily.  I saved mine to the 
desktop, and added a keyboard shortcut to it to let me open it quickly.

   

  You will now find that your system's time and date are automatically added 
each time you open the file and add a note.

   

  It may seem silly, but it's one of the most useful features I've found in 
Windows in many a long year.
