Nick... that problem isn't an issue with microsoft, its with the standards for txt files.
TXT files can be encoded in EBCDIC, ASCII, Unicode, ISO standards... anything you want but there is no standard for a header to tell you what encoding is being used. So MS does so statistical analysis on the first XX bytes of the file to determine it itself. Unfortuantely, with a file that small, it often returns ASCII as unicode... heres a trick... go do the same thing, but when you save the file convert it to unicode, then reopen it. |

It's alright. I really should have clarified my interest of Microsoft’s new Windows Genuine Advantage authentication software.
As for the worm, I remove AOHe!!/IM for people many times. |
