The Application layout » Advanced branch of Settings has the following options.'

Disable all workspace "close" buttons

This option toggles the state of close buttons for dockable child windows (i.e., those that can be toggled in the Layout tab).

Reset all "don't show again" checkboxes

If selected, all dialogs with a "Don't show this window again" option are reset to an unchecked state so they will be visible the next time the associated option is invoked.

Confirm removing file/directory from favorites

If selected, you'll be prompted to confirm when removing a file or directory from your Favorite files list (accessible in the "Lists" tab of the File view or via File menu).

Display prompt opening read-only project

If selected, you'll be prompted when opening a project with a .prj file set to read-only, and you can choose if whether to make the project file writeable or not. If the project file is not changed to be writeable, then changes made to the project can't be saved when the project is closed.

Use registry for settings (not INI file) - This will NOT move the existing items to the registry

This setting causes the editor to save and retrieve all settings from the registry. On startup, before reading any other settings from the INI file, the editor checks this setting first. If this is set, the editor stores all settings in the registry. When toggling this setting, existing settings are NOT copied from the INI file to the registry, or vice versa.

Please note: If this option is selected, the options to "Import / Export settings" in the "Backup settings" dropdown in the Advanced tab will not work.

Store windows/menu/toolbars placements and configurations for multiple instances of application

If this item is checked and a second instance of the editor is open and window sizes/positions or menu/toolbar configurations are changed in the second instance, the next time a second instance of application is opened, it will use the separately saved sizes and positions.

INI file location

This read-only file path is the full path to the INI file used by the current instance of UltraEdit / UEStudio.
