Is there a way to force Notepad++ Encoding to Windows-1252?

Settings --> Preferences --> New Document. In the Encoding box, select the dropdown and you will find Windows-1252. Not sure why you want to use such a thing though as it is a legacy encoding.

    Is there a way to force Notepad++ Encoding to Windows-1252 for files that it doesn't auto-detect the encoding?

    It seems it defaults to UTF-8 and I want it to default to Windows-1252 instead.

    Thanks in advance.
