Set default encoding for new text document in win7

1. open notepad to create a new blank text document without entering any text, and then save this document by changing the encoding from the default ANSI to Unicode or UTF-8 In the Save As dialog box, next, name the file. Assume that the new file is named Unicode. TXT. 2. Copy Unicode. txt to the implicit system folder C: \ WINDOWS \ shellnew. 3. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to hkey_classes_root \. txt \ shellnew. Create a New String Value named filename and set this string value to C: \ WINDOWS \ shellnew \ Unicode. txt. The purpose of the above practice is to set the "new" template shellnew of the. TXT text file as a custom white text file saved in Unicode encoding. In this way, if we use "new"-"Text Document" in the right-click menu of resource manager to create a new text document, Windows will automatically use c: \ windows \ shellnew \ Unicode. TXT is used as a template to create a text document. The default encoding of the document is Unicode. However, this method only applies to creating a new text document by right-clicking the new menu. If we start notepad through the Start menu, and then create a new text document, c: \ windows \ shellnew \ Unicode. the TXT template will not be used, and the new text document will still use the default ANSI encoding.
