If your UltraEdit File Tab was gone or you accidentally closed it and you did’t know how to put it back then this post is for you. I also encountered this same dilemma before wherein I accidentally clicked the X button in the tabs toolbar resulting to the disappearance of my file tabs! I was shocked and was almost paranoid because I can’t find my good old file tabs! After checking all menu options, I found the magical file tab! Here it is!
It’s in View > View/Lists > Open File Tabs!

I hope this helps…

Awesome tip!!
thanks a lot…
Welcome! Glad to help! 😀
@CraZee – thanks !
Thanks! It was so frustrating… I really felt like a computer n00b for the first time. Even searched the “view” menu, but couldn’t find it. Thanks, this post was a great help. If you’re editing a large number of php-files, it’s really a drag to lack the open files tab.
welcome ritchie 😀
Found the menu – but nothing happens… can the .ini or somthing be readonly….? 😳
Oh.. that’s weird. Try restarting or re installing Ultra Edit 32.
God Bless YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
i will be forever thankful

You’re a life-saver. You stopped me from cussing out my editor.
Thanks a massive bunch! Bad UltraEdit for not putting this in the Config pages, Bad Editor! Down!
If UEdit didn’t have the best column editing in the known universe, I would have switched to Notepad++ or KomodoEdit long ago.
🙂 Thanks!
