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.

You can also test your anti virus program for its effectiveness using a simple notepad trick. Follow the steps below to know more:

6.Lock File(s) on Windows Without Using Any Software

How many times have you wished of a software using which you can hide or lock files,  restricting its access to other unwanted users. Although there are various software available in market using which you can easily lock/hide files but, i personally dont trust them because most of them are bloatware or spyware.
In this post i am going to share a simple yet powerful way of locking and hiding important files using a the following method. Follow the instructions to make you own Locker ( Without any software !! ) :

• Open notepad.
• Copy the following code in notepad file :
•  Edit: The old code would not work if you copy-pasted as it was
• The new code should work though 

 
cls
@ECHO OFF 
title ACCESS DENIED 
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK 
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER 
:CONFIRM 
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N) 
set/p "cho=>" 
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==n goto END 
if %cho%==N goto END 
echo Invalid choice. 
goto :CONFIRM 
:LOCK 
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
echo Folder locked 
goto End 
:UNLOCK 
echo Enter password to Unlock folder 
set/p "pass=>" 
if NOT %pass%==YOURPASSWORDHERE goto FAIL 
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker 
echo Folder Unlocked successfully 
goto End 
:FAIL 
echo Invalid password 
goto END 
:MDLOCKER 
md Locker 
echo Locker created successfully goto End 
:END

• Change the “YOUR PASSWORD HERE” with your password.
• Save it as batch file ( with extension .bat ) For eg. Locker.bat
• If you are usin notepad++ it should look like this 
• Now you will see a batch file. Double click it to create a folder locker ( A new folder named Locker would be formed at the same location )

• Thats it you have now created your own locker and that too without using any software !
• Brings all the files you want to hide in the locker folder.
• Double click the batch ( As created above ) file to lock the folder namely Locker.

If you want to unlock your files, simple double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password ( In DOS window ). Enter the password and enjoy access to the folder.
Don’t delete .bat file, you'll loose your stuff…….

wshshell.sendkeys "g"
wscript.sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys "o"
wscript.sleep 200
wshshell.sendkeys "o"
wscript.sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys "d"

Save as name.vbs 

Instrucions :

Whatever is typed is shown character-wise . You can edit it to suit your needs , just change the characters and for separating words add a space instead of a character.Nice trick for annoying users.
