1. Make A Personal Log-Book or A Diary
Did you know that you can also use Notepad as a simple digital diary or a personal Log-Book ? Well, if you didn’t then follow the below mentioned steps to make one for yourself !
- Open Notepad.
- Type .LOG (in capital letters) and hit enter.
- Save it with any name and close it.
- Open it again.
When you open the file again you will see the current date and time
being inserted automatically after the .LOG line. This will happen
automatically every time you reopen the the notepad file.
2. Shut-down The Computer After Conveying Any Message
This one is kind of an annoying trick and if used unknowingly can
certainly cause problems (am serious). What this trick does is, after
conveying a (any) message it shuts down the computer without any
confirmation. In order to create the Shutdown file, follow the below mentioned steps:
- Open Notepad.
- Paste the following code in it:
@echo off
msg * Its time to get some rest.
shutdown -c “Error! You have to take rest! Byeeeeee” -s
- Save the file with any name but with .bat extension and close it. For eg. TakeRest.bat
NOTE : Use this carefully. If you are playing prank
then keep in mind that this may lead to loss as it shuts down the
computer forcefully.
