Default encoding for new files is: UTF-8
Default encoding for non-unicode files is: None
(The checkbox between these two options is set)

As far as I can remember, I previously set the default encoding for new

I don't know exactly. It is a Win 7 Professional German version, so I 
suppose the locale is CP1252
