but others here may know differently.
Notepad's default settings are held in the registry but there are no provisions for creating a Notepad file such as you would with, for example, Microsoft's Word, (.dotx template file).

However, what about a workaround? This is what I would do;
* Create a Notepad file with the content/word I want displayed each time it is opened.
* Save that file to some personal folder on your hard disk.
* Create a shortcut for that file and place the shortcut on your Desktop.
* Use that as you wish.

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to change the default template that notepad uses. I want to a word to be displayed already once I open up notepad.
Thank you!
