Shouldn't they be saved into some sort of ini file in the same folder ? I had installed UR more than a year ago but I have uninstalled it since. The plan is to use this from a USB drive.[/I]
To force Ultra Recall to run in portable mode (for instance, when run from a regular hard drive or a USB hard drive that isn't identified as removable), create an empty text file named UltraRecall.ini in the same path as UltraRecall.exe and restart Ultra Recall.

2. I have been using Info Select for a while now and got used to the keyboard shortcuts hardly ever requiring the mouse. For example to insert a note, press N and press L for a single line of text. Is that possible in UR ?
Single key shortcuts aren't possible in UR -- typing a keystroke performs the standard Windows behavior (entering text in a text control, navigating to a matching item in trees and lists, etc.).

Alternatively, is it possible to reconfigure the default keyboard commands for inserting an item as a sibling or child ? I would prefer Ins to be used for sibling and Shift-Ins for child. I don't see these under Tools->Customize->Keyboard
A few of the shortcuts can't be modified in UR. In those cases, you would need to use a macro program to map other shortcuts to the predefined ones.

3. How do I disable the double-click on an item opening up in Word ? Pressing Enter does the same thing and I would like to disable that too and use Enter for moving from the Data Explorer to the RTF editor pane.
Extract and double-click DisableOpenDocumentOnDoubleClick.reg in the attachment and restart UR. But you can't map Enter to move focus between panes, as it would also take apply in the text editor and other edit controls, preventing Enter from being typed. Tab already does move from the DE to detail pane, and you can map other shortcuts to the View | Other Windows | Next Pane / Previous Pane commands.

4. While moving from item to item in the Data Explorer, the focus stays in DE except when on a search. I have deselected all the three options under Tools->Options->Trees(More)->Selection/Focus and restarted UR but the focus still moves away and I need to click back or press Ctrl-1
Don't use the Search command (Edit | Search) to perform a search (which always focuses the search text field to allow entering the search text). Instead, create a favorite for the search item and go to that favorite.

5. Is it possible to change the background color of the editor for a particular item or for all items ?
