About this tag
The ultraedit tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about using UltraEdit as a text editor on Windows, particularly issues related to file permissions and ownership. Users report problems editing files created in the Windows command shell or in protected folders like Program Files, where file ownership defaults to Administrator or TrustedInstaller instead of the user account.

These threads focus on troubleshooting permission-related obstacles when editing system or admin-created files with UltraEdit.
