On Windows (or most systems for that matter), your vimrc should
probably start with the following two lines:

set nocompatible
set encoding=utf-8

And, there should be nothing which sets fenc or fencs
(the 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' options).

You might have something to set fencs, but the defaults have
been sufficient for my modest needs.

With the above, Vim can correctly read a .reg file. After the
file is open, the following command shows that the .reg file
has file encoding utf-16le:

:set fenc?
