2. Write .LOG as the first line of the file, followed by a enter. Save the file and close it.

Trick 3 
Do you know the number of the flight that was used to attack the world Trade Centre????
The flight number was Q33N.

Now, open your Notepad, type the number of the flight (i.e. Q33N).
Now click on format>font, increase the font size upto 72, and change the font style to 'wingdings'.
Now see the ammmaaazzzing thing.

Trick 4 
Over at WinCustomize, someone thought they'd found an Easter Egg in the Windows Notepad
application. If you:
1. Open Notepad
2. Type the text "this app can break" (without quotes)
3. Save the file
4. Re-open the file in Notepad

Notepad displays seemingly-random Chinese characters, or boxes if your default Notepad font doesn't
support those characters.

It's not an Easter egg (even though it seems like a funny one), and as it turns out, Notepad writes the
file correctly. It's only when Notepad reads the file back in that it seems to lose its mind.
