In the opened window check the item Textbausteine and if you want also other items. Then click on button Sichern. In the opened window there is displayed at top into which .uec file (UltraEdit configuration file) all checked user configurations are stored. It is usually the user's Dokumente folder. You could also create two uec files with waiting with a minute between the two clicks on Sichern. The first one with just the Textbausteine and the second one with all configurations files.

Now you can uninstall current version of UltraEdit with using the option to delete also the user's configuration which results in deletion of entire directory %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit.

The alternative method is creating a copy of entire folder %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\templates to backup all Textbausteine, then uninstall UltraEdit with deletion of user configuration, restart Windows, install UltraEdit, start UltraEdit, exit it and replace created templates by the backup.
