Hi Velson,

You need not to go in the Registry.

1. Open your file in Notepad.
2. Go to the File menu and select Save as... (or press Ctrl + Shift + S).
3. In the "Save As" dialog box, look for the Encoding dropdown menu next to the "Save" button.
4. Select UTF-16 LE from the list.
5. Click Save. If the file already exists, click Yes to replace it.
