I tried to open a Windows .ini file, but the characters look Chinese.
The file is a text file.
Is there something I need to do to properly view it?
Thanks, Andrew Kennedy

You most likely have the wrong encoding. Nothing in a .ini specifies the encoding so it has to be detected (ie guessed) or the system encoding used. You can set the encoding to open the file with in the "more options" section of the open dialog.

It opens ok with no encoding.
Can I set something so I don't have to pick no encoding every time I want to open an .ini file?
Thanks.
