Add something like this to your .emacs file.

(setq file-name-buffer-file-type-alist '(("\\.txt$" . nil) (".*" . t)))

The first list is a regular expression that says to emacs to allow 
translation of the file to windows line-endings.
The second list says everything else should be opened as binary.

Modify this as required.

Have a good time,
