XP & Wordpad - How to default word wrap to end of Ruler?

It really gets irritating to have to manually set word wrap on new XP PC's to default to ruler instead of other options.

Can this be done permanently?

Thanks, Dave
 
Anne - is it possible to have Wordpad keep the formatting to word wrap on ruler as the default every time I open Wordpad XP?

The previous versions of Wordpad do this; as well as default to *.doc as the file save option, which Wordpad XP only saves *.rtf instead of *.doc as the formatted text.

Thanks for feedback, Dave
 
Sorry, david. I looked that one up. I'm no Wordpad user at ALL. Hell, I don't even know what version I have, hee hee. Okay. I just looked and it's 5.1 something with Windows XP.

I changed View-Options to "wrap to ruler", closed Wordpad, restarted it and it opened just fine.

Sounds to me like you don't have rights to your registry, Dave.
