Step 3
In the text box type in "EnableULPS" and then press Find.
Step 4
You should see "EnableULPS". Double click on it.

Recap
ULPS should now be disabled. Although you can opt to disable it in Afterburner and Catalyst Control Center, it often gets turned back on after an update and so doing this is more efficient.
Note: If you want to turn ULPS back on, simply change the value back to "1".
