Creating a log in Notepad is very simple. 

1. Create a New Text Document.
2. Type .LOG 
3. Save It!

Note: Make sure Its a new text document, editing some other text document may not work. Type .LOG in capital letters and also in the first line. Save the document in its default format or extension which is .txt.
