Notepad - WTF!!!

I was just busy making some batch scripts for compiling some D stuff. Actually I've just installed the thing and are trying to compile tango examples. (probably not important) Anyway one of the bat files I wrote contains exactly the following (48 chars): \dmd\bin\build dmd/tango/example/console/hello.d When I open this file in wordpad, everything is as you would expect (in English). But when I open it up in notepad... you're not going to believe this... The whole thing is in Chinese![totally][totally][totally] 摜摭扜湩扜極摬搠摭琯湡潧支慸灭敬振湯潳敬栯汥潬搮 I have a totally English OS install, and have nothing foreign selected in any regional settings etc. I've retyped this from scratch over again and it does the same thing. If I add extra characters from wordpad, or change some characters it displays correctly in English. The file name and extension makes no difference. Out of interest I used google translator to translate the Chinese back to English and got this: Brief fling degrees Breast degrees daub 摭 acting very revered King 湡潧 support 慸 eliminate vibration King Huazhong 汥潬 determine 潳 Can someone please please let me know if it is just my PC that has lost the plot!
