Ultraedit files does not show in tabs even when set for it

Every now and then my File Tabs in UltraEdit disappears. I think though only after a hard reboot crash of my computer. But as it happens often, I save the very simple solution here, easy for me to find later!

Beware, it does not work to simply enable the "View -> Views/Lists -> Open File Tabs" from the menu, that is already enabled, and no file tabs are shown!

So it turns out that all you have to do is delete this section from uedit32.ini:

[ToolBarState1-v110-Bar17]
BarID=59423
Horz=1
Floating=1
XPos=4
YPos=992
Bars=3
Bar#0=0
Bar#1=143
Bar#2=0


You can remove more [ToolBarState1 sections if you want, you will have to fix your toolbars afterwards though.

Uedit32.ini location can be modified, which is a nice feature, enabling you to have your own private .ini file. Simply using the documents and settings location ("C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\IDMComp\UltraEdit\uedit32.INI") is better than Windows system dir.
