Copying customized toolbars - UE9.10

[hershmab]

Due to frequent hardware problems, I am frequently having to reinstall UltraEdit. I have customized my toolbar(s) and I would like to take them with me instead of having to recreate them each time. Currently my laptop is configured the way I want it, but my desktop has just been rebuilt. I have copied over everything, including the three \WINDOWS files, from laptop to desktop, but my customized toolbar is nowhere to be seen.

How can I find it on the laptop and install it on the desktop?

You have to extract the toolbar settings from the registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit]

It is also possible to use the old style toolbar (and menus) via an INI setting. The old style toolbar has 4 advantages:

a) loaded faster;
b) different toolbars possible with different INI files (project specific toolbars, if project specific INI files used);
c) can be easily restored and can be easily use on machines with multi-os;
d) compatible with screen readers.

Disadvantages of the old style toolbar are:

a) old look;
b) less functions possible than in the new style;
c) only 1 toolbar can be configured, not 2, 3 oder more like in the new style.
d) Enabling old style toolbar enables also old menus, which are not configurable and have the old look.
