Yes, you will receive log.txt file created where adb.exe is. If you want to change location add desired path before log.txt.
To quit logcat press ctrl+C

I found the attached script useful to see a cleaned up, color coded logcat.

You need to find and install the python script language package: ActivePython-2.7.1.3-win32-x86.msi
I got it directly from here: http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads
