How can I remove entries from the FTP 'Change Directory' combobox? For some accounts the list has grown quite large, and there are lots of directories I don't use any more.

I never used the FTP feature of UE, and so don't know where the directories are really stored. But the directories can be only saved
%APPDATA% references the value of environment variable APPDATA containing the path to the hidden application data directory of current user account. Just copy and paste %APPDATA%\IDMComp\ into the address bar of Windows Explorer and hit key RETURN or ENTER to get this directory displayed.
- in %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\uedit32.ini
(or whatever is displayed at Advanced - Configuration - Application Layout - Advanced at bottom for INI file location if not using default location or default name for INI file), or - in the file specified at Advanced - Configuration - FTP on using Store FTP accounts and settings in user selected file, or
- in %APPDATA%\IDMComp\Common\FTP Accounts\IdmFTPAccounts.txt on using Share FTP accounts also at Advanced - Configuration - FTP.

Thanks, the info was in my FTP account user selected file. Unfortunately the paths are stored hex encoded, so it's pretty hard to tell which ones to delete. For example:
Path History New0=2F6578706F72742F686F6D65
I was able to delete all of the 'Path History*' entries and start from scratch, which for me is better than having all of the old paths in the drop-down.
Path History New0=2F6578706F72742F686F6D65
I was able to delete all of the 'Path History*' entries and start from scratch, which for me is better than having all of the old paths in the drop-down.
Aha, nice to know, thanks.
Without having a test file I have written quickly a small script which copies the active file to a new file if it contains the case-sensitive string "Path History New" and converts all the path history entries in hexadecimal to ASCII in this new file. So you should get a copy of your file with the account data with readable path history entries. I hope this little script is helpful for you or somebody else.
Please note: It does not contain any checks on valid data. It is really a quick and dirty script.
