How do I programatically default the encoding of my "Notepad" into ANSI.
My application uses notepad to save some text. Some of the client computers
have UTF as the default encoding in their notepad. This adds some
characters in my text and creates problems later on managing it.

So is there a way to create a text file in notepad with ANSI encoding
always?

Thanks
John
