No, it's not different on Windows and it actually works fine[1].
Be sure to edit/place your template files in the configuration
directory and not in the application directory.

You should have somthing like c:\documents and settings\username
\Application Data\Geany\templates
In this directory you can edit the existing templates and there should
be a subdirectory "files" where you can place new, own template files.


[1] it works fine except for {datetime} which might break the template
due to a bug in Geany. We don't convert the output of strftime() back
to UTF-8 which we should do. This is not strictly related to Windows,
might also happen on other systems when the locale is not UTF-8, *sigh*.
Will fix this later.

Enrico
