What is a .ULS file?

The file extension .ULS is associated with a type of file known as a NetMeeting User Location Service File. This kind of file is important for a program called Microsoft NetMeeting, which was used to help people connect with each other over the internet. The .ULS file contains specific details about where to find someone online, like their internet address. It works by having a server, called the Internet Locator Server (ILS), send out a file named "Ulserver.uls" to the people who want to connect. This file includes the necessary information such as the IP address and the port details to make the connection possible.

To open a .ULS file, you would typically use Microsoft NetMeeting. This program was designed to use these files to help set up meetings and chats over the internet. However, it's important to note that NetMeeting was a part of Windows XP and is not available on Windows Vista or newer versions of Windows. Microsoft has introduced other tools for online meetings and collaborations, such as Windows Meeting Space and Microsoft Office Live Meeting, as replacements for NetMeeting. These newer programs do not use the .ULS file format for connecting users.
