To make Notepad's Page Setup settings "sticky," take the following steps:

Step 1. Close all copies of Notepad that are running.

Step 2. In Windows 98 or Windows Me, click Start, Run, type "regedit," and then click OK. In Windows 2000, click Start, Run, type "regedt32," and then click OK.

Step 3. In Registry Editor, double-click the folder icons to open the following branch: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft. Under the Microsoft branch, select the Notepad folder. In the right pane, double-click the word fSavePageSettings. In the DWord edit box that appears, change the value 0 (zero) to 1 (one). Click OK to save this value (as either a decimal or a hex value; it doesn't matter).

Step 4. Close the Registry Editor.

Step 5. Open Notepad. Click File, Page Setup. Write down the margin, header, and footer values, then change them. Click OK, and then close Notepad. Now restart Notepad and click File, Page Setup again.

In Windows 98 and 2000, your header and footer values will still be the ones you set. In Windows 2000, any new margin settings you defined will also be saved. (Windows 2000's version of Notepad has another nice feature: You can set the default font from its Format menu, rather than hacking the Registry.)
