Is there any tool that can set any executable file as default web browser (open html files, handle http)?
I need to do this from time to time and I'm always forgetting some registry entries.
(Or is there any way how to quickly set the latest builds of Opera 9.5 as default browser?)

Hey,
even though Opera is configured to be my default browser, there are still some shortcuts that are opened only via IE and not Opera. For example shortcuts from outlook e-mails and I-nigma.
Is there any way to change that?
Thanks.
try settings up file associations for known HTML formats using Advanced Config 3.3`
I am having trouble manually restoring my OPERA6.ADR Bookmarks file on my Opera 9.5 browser build 17658 on my WinMo 6.5 AT&T Pure device.
When I copy over my OPERA6.ADR file stored at \\Windows\Opera9\Opera6.adr and then open up Opera for the first time since the last soft reset, the new bookmarks show up fine. However, if I ever ran Opera before I copy over the file since the soft reset, the bookmarks shown in Opera are always what was loaded before and it will overwrite the opera6.adr file with the previous bookmarks. This occurs even if the Opera process was closed. The HTC TouchFlo Bookmarks option in the Internet tab will show the new links immediately, but as soon as I go into Opera and the file is overwritten, it then shows the old links.
It seems once Opera runs once it caches its bookmarks and ignores any outside writes to the Opera6.ADR file. I noticed Opera seems to load up quick on the second attempt even if the process is closed. I'm thinking the initialization of Opera is cached up after its first load which may be a part of my problem.
Is it possible to reset Opera be it through a programming API or some file deletion(s) to get Opera to read the Opera6.ADR file? Would a registry setting be involved to get this loaded properly? I hate to have to soft reset my device just to do this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Android allows bookmark shortcuts to the default browser (called 'Internet') and Dolphiin.
But Firefox and Opera do not.
Is there a way to create a shortcut to a URL to be opened in Firefox of Opera ?
Or, more generally, create a shortcut to an app with an argument, e.g. a PDF viewer app with a particular PDF file ?
In the 'Make Shortcut !' app I could not find a solution.
Hi, I've posted in 7.7 but there's no response, perhaps because it requires certain level of hacking, so i'm putting it here :
There's one problem with honeycomb's stock browser,
the browser sync for saved password doesn't work,
This page confirms that there's a bug with honeycomb's browser sync :
hxxp://code.google.cxm/p/android/issues/detail?id=18937
I mainly use tab for browsing so it's a big problem for me because i have hundreds of passwords on my PC (Chrome/Firefox) and i can't remember them all..
Firefox for Android is not an option because i prefer using the stock browser, i've tried FF and it's just terribly slow
So Is there anyway to manually sync the saved passwords from your PC (Chrome) to 7.7? Perhaps by copying csv / xml file to certain folders?
On my phone (n900)
I was able to do this by replacing these 2 files on N900's browser directory:
signons.sqlite & key3.db
Gotten from my PC's firefox profiles..
So is it possible to do the same with rooted honeycomb?
Anyone?
Perhaps by editing the database?
