How to change default encoding for *.txt file?
Now, the default encoding for .txt document is set to UTF-8, so that every
time I create a new document, it saves as UTF-8.
Of course I can choose "Save As", instead of simply "Save", and change
encoding as I want to, every time I want to save my new .txt document..
But I want to make it easier. I was searching through the registry
(regedit), but couldn't find the option that would solve this problem.

Can someone help me, please?

Look in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile
branch of thr Registry.

What is the value of EditFlags key? Mine is:
REG_DWORD 0x00010000 (65536)
