You can customize the default font, font style, and font size in Notepad, enable or disable word wrap and the status bar, as well as change the size and position of the Notepad window. You can manually change these settings back to their defaults, but we have an easier and quicker way to reset Notepad to its default settings using the registry.
Warning: make backup of registry first before making any changes.
1. Open the Registry Editor by hitting Start and typing “regedit.” Press Enter to open Registry Editor and give it permission to make changes to your PC. (Cltr+R)
2.In the tree structure on the left, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad
3.Right-click on the “Notepad” key in the tree and select “Delete” from the popup menu. You can also select the “Notepad” key and press “Delete” on the keyboard.
4.On the “Confirm Key Delete” dialog box, click “Yes”.
5.To close the Registry Editor, select “Exit” from the “File” menu.
All your saved settings for Notepad will be deleted and the default settings will take effect the next time you open Notepad and a new “Notepad” key will be created in the registry.
