Also, do you know this poweruser tip for notepad?

 

If you create a new text file, write ".LOG" in the first line and save it. Next time you open the file in notepad, it will append the time and date on the last line of the file. Try it out! Wink

Here's another bug: why isn't there any support for \n style newlines? It's a pain to open simple text documents in WordPad. Will this be fixed in Windows 8 maybe?
