System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII

Saving a textfile from Vb or C# you think is just text but oh noo.
Following code:

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("c:\MyFileName.txt", txt, False) 

Saves a text file, BUT you will have a couple of extra characters ÿþ (0xFF 0xFE) in the beginning of the file that
isn't shown in your favourite text editor .
You can even compare two files in WinMerge and it doesn't report those extra characters.
The extra characters ÿþ is used to tag the file as a Utf-8 file.
 To save a clean text file use the following code:

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("c:\MyFileName.txt", txt, False, System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII)
