Is it possible to specify the font that WordPad starts up with?

On my system it starts with Arial size 10 and I would prefere Courier
size 8.

Create a new file in WordPad and make your settings. Save this file as
DEFAULT.RTF (you can choose any supported file format here). Open an
Explorer window and navigate to the DEFAULT.RTF. Right-click the file
to enable the "Read-Only" attribute. This will protect the file
against overwriting it by accident. Now drag the file from the
Explorer window to the Start button to place a shortcut in the Start
Menu. Whenever you click this menu entry, WordPad will open with your
write-protected template file. You can edit the file and save a copy
with the File > Save As command.
