Edit registory file in Vim

Windows registry files (*.REG) are encoded in UTF-16le with BOM. So we need to config vim to read registry files correctly.

Add the following lines to vimrc file.

set encoding=utf-8
set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp936

Note, the ucs-bom must set before utf-8.

My windows’s default language is zh_CN. The setting of encoding to utf-8 will cause vim display message in the wrong way. To solve this problem, set the environment variable LANG to en_US.UTF-8.

set LANG=en_US.UTF-8
