Editing a .cfg file with vista notepad problem?

I have the cheat for Hero's and Might and Magic 5. It tells you to edit the Autoexec.cfg file in profiles and add a line to use the cheat.

My problem is that when you go to save the file, it saves as a text file thus ruining the file.

I choose the option all files in Save As, and then it gives the option in programming below for:

Unicode

Unicode big endian

UTF-8

What am I doing wrong here? Do I choose one of these above options?

This is in Vista, btw.

    Automatically save as is the problem with read only attribute, try to uncheck the read only attribute under the properties of the cfg file and try edit and save again, save as will not pop up again and no unicode problem will rise.
