Do NOT type anything! 3. Go to “File -> Save As… ” and choose UTF-8 under “Encoding:”, press “Save” and overwrite existing file. Close the file. 4. Rename “New Text Document.txt” to “TXTUTF-8.txt” 5. Copy “TXTUTF-8.txt” to “C:\WINDOWS\SHELLNEW” 6. Go to “Start -> Run…” and type ————- regedit ————- Press OK. 7. Navigate to —————————————————————- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew —————————————————————- 8. Right click in the right window -> New -> “String Value” and rename it to —————- FileName —————- 9. Double click on “FileName” and put ———————— TXTUTF-8.txt ———————— into “Value data:” field and press OK. 10. It’s finished. 11. Test it: Create new .txt document (Right click > New > Text Document). Open it and go to “File > Save As… ” and see that encoding is set by default to UTF-8 . :-) Credits go to Robert Clemenzi and his explanation of “FileName” string (and its linkage with “Template directory”) within registry: http://mc-computing.com/WinExplorer/WinExplorerRegistry_ShellNew.htm NOTE: These steps are ONLY for creating new and blank UTF-8 .txt documents. If .txt is already saved with ANSI encoding, it will stay ANSI when saving it next time – so if UTF-8 is needed (in this case), it must be set manually. P.S. Also change “fSavePageSettings” & “fSaveWindowPositions” DWORD values to “1” within following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad Info: http://www.pc1news.com/saving-changes-to-notepad-configuration-1216.html
