PC help: Add timestamps to Notepad documents

Make Notepad add a time and date to a document automatically

It’s possible to make the Notepad program, which comes free with Windows, add timestamps to information. I use this feature to keep track of messages and notes when surfing.

To do the same, begin by launching Notepad (from the Start button, point to All Programs, then Accessories and click Notepad). Now, on the first line type a full stop followed by LOG (in capitals) and press Return. Save the file with a suitable name, for example Mynotes, and place a shortcut on the Windows Desktop or Taskbar for future use.

When the file is next opened the date and time will be added to the end of the log, which serves as a timestamp for the next entry.
