    Does anyone else use the .LOG feature?

    Put .LOG at the beginning of a text file. When opened in Notepad, you should get a date & time stamp.

    Open filename.txt, type something, save and close.

    Now you have a journal for system and config changes, document collections, time entries, client visits, whatever. Has worked on every Windows box I ever had to use.

      I also appreciate that Notepad notes now don’t need to be manually saved to a file. They’re probably in temp storage somewhere, but the point is you can just write and close.
