If you want Notepad.exe to remember your Page Setup settings:

1. Copy / Paste the following to a npd.reg file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftNotepad]
"fSavePageSettings"=dword:00000001

2. Merge the npd.reg file with your registry or run regedit /s npd.reg.

NOTE: To remember the Window size and position when you last closed Notepad.exe, add the following to the npd.reg file, immediately after the "fSavePageSettings"=dword:00000001 line:

"fSaveWindowPositions"=dword:00000001

NOTE: You can manually set any of the Value Names that you find at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftNotepad.
