After the file is encrypted, it is closed and saved to your hard drive with a ".uenc" file extension. You are prompted to delete the original (unencrypted) file from disk.

==Decrypt a file==
[[File:UltraEdit decrypt file.png|right|alt=Screenshot of UltraEdit's Decrypt File dialog]]
When you select '''Decrypt file''', the "Decrypt file(s)" dialog is opened where you can select an encrypted file to decrypt. Additionally, if you attempt to open an encrypted file with UltraEdit's / UEStudio's regular [[File open]] dialog, the "Decrypt file(s)" dialog is shown so that you can decrypt the file for editing.

The "Decrypt file(s)" dialog includes the following options:

'''File(s) to decrypt'''<br>
This field contains the full file path of the file you wish to decrypt. You can use the '''...''' button to browse to and select one or more file(s) to decrypt. Remember, unless manually modified, files encrypted by UltraEdit or UEStudio will be stored on your hard drive with a ".uenc" file extension.

The Status Bar is the small row with tips and information displayed at the bottom of the UltraEdit / UEStudio window. The status bar can be toggled in the [[:Category:Layout tab|Layout tab]]. The status bar includes the following sections, from left to right.

==Help prompts==
The left area of the status bar displays descriptions of menu items as you use the arrow keys to navigate through menu items or hover the mouse pointer over menu items. This area additionally shows messages that describe the actions of toolbar buttons as you hover the mouse pointer over them or depress them before releasing them. (These help prompts aren't shown for ribbon mode, and a tool tip is displayed instead.)

If macro recording is in progress, a red dot and the word "Macro" will be displayed in the right-most area of this field as well.

This section of the status bar also shows [[find in files]] and [[quick find]] information.

==Line / column number==
The line number (if enabled) of the cursor in the file, and the column number are displayed together in a single panel.

In [[hex edit]] mode this displays the cursor position in hex and decimal values.

==Active clipboard==
The active [[Clipboards|clipboard]] is shown as "C#" in the status bar following the line and column indicator separated with a comma. "C0" represents the Windows / system clipboard, while "C1" - "C9" represents user clipboards 1 - 9.

==Line terminator type==
This portion of the status bar indicates whether the active file contains DOS, Unix/Mac, or Mac legacy line terminators.
* '''DOS:''' Standard Windows line terminators (CR/LF, or hex 0D 0A) are used.
* '''Unix/Mac:''' Standard Unix and Mac line terminators (LF, or hex 0A) are used.
* '''Mac legacy:''' Legacy Mac line terminators (CR, or hex 0D) are used.

==Encoding type==
This interactive section of the status bar shows the encoding of the active file. Click the button immediately to the right to open a menu and select a different encoding type for the active file. This does not actually affect the underlying content of the file, and no conversion to the file on disk is done (except in the case of new, unsaved files). This merely changes the encoding used to display the file in the editor.

==Syntax highlighting type==
This interactive section of the status bar shows the [[syntax highlighting]] applied to the active file. Click the button immediately to the right to open a menu and select a different highlighting type for the active file (this is not remembered between editing sessions).

==Date / time==
This portion of the status bar shows the date and time the active file was last modified (prior to this session). For new files, the date and time shown is the creation date and time. The date format is read from the system "short date" setting. You can configure this in your operating system's regional settings.

==File (or selection) size / number of lines==
This portion of the status bar shows the file size in '''bytes''' as well as the '''total number of lines''' in the active file. The file size is updated when UltraEdit / UEStudio writes any changes to the disk on save. When a selection is active in the file, this field reflects the number of characters / lines selected. For performance reasons, the number of lines selected is not displayed if the total file size exceeds 10MB.

In [[column mode]] with a selection active in the file, this field shows the number of selected columns if at least 1 column is selected.

In [[hex edit]] mode with a selection active, this field shows the number of selected bytes only.

==Read-only status==
If the active file is set to read-only, R/O is shown in this control to indicate this state. If the active file is writable, R/W (readable/writable) will be displayed here. You can click this item to toggle the active file's read-only status. Doing so does not affect the underlying file attribute unless the option "Change file attribute when toggling read-only for active file" is selected under [[Settings:File Handling:Miscellaneous|Settings » File Handling » Miscellaneous]].

==Insert / overstrike status==
This portion of the status bar indicates whether in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insert_key insert or overstrike mode]. You can click this item to toggle between modes. This affects all open files and not just the active file.

==Column mode status==
This portion of the status bar indicates whether in [[column mode]]. You can click this item to toggle column mode. This affects all open files and not just the active file.

==Caps lock status==
The rightmost area of the status bar shows "CAP" if caps lock is enabled. This is subdued if caps lock is not enabled.
