How to log the date and time with a batch file
==============================================
First, make a new file and name it "go.txt". Save it to "C:\", your root directory. Open it in edit or something, then on the very fist line hit enter. Now save that file and exit your editor. Now use the following lines in your autoexec.bat file or whatever file you are using:

date >> start.log < go.txt
time >> start.log < go.txt

This will redirect the one carridge return into the date and time commands so they will continue.
