I can install, then run Opera Mini (beta 4), but once I close it, I can find no shortcut, exe, etc... to open it again. I can redownload the installer, which tells me it's already installed. It then asks if I want to run it, and the cycle starts over.
Also, I would like to disable that data transfer warning. Very irritating...
You can launch Opera Mini in the Java manager (in programs, an "e" icon)
About the data transfer warning, you can use Cloudyfa's Jbed java manager and there's a hack to stop that, search around
Thanks for the tips. However, how do I make it the default browser? I didn't have this problem with Opera Mobile...
Guys,
I have a load of internet shortcuts (bookmarks) on my PPC under Windows\Favorites which are read by PIE and are displayed on QuickMenu however!...
When I try and run one of these files and choose either PIE or Opera, I get in the address bar (url) the location of the file and not the website it supposedly points to.
If I choose the favorite from within PIE then all is well. Strange!!!
I've been looking for an answer for a while now and am drawing a blank.
Please someone help. I'm starting to get a headache
Oh, I should probably tell you I have WM6.1 Pro (HTC Touch HD).
Thanks
Wayne
Windows Mobile doesn't read ".url" file naively. The files you are messing with are resourse files for the browsers (the browsers pull information from the file, you can't push the information by clicking them) There are programs that open your 'internet favorites" (m2d, ultimate launch, and "Interent link launcher")
Thanks for the reply joel2009!
Is there an app that I can install that can handle the .url file type and run the browser with the url from the file?
Anyone able to answer this?...
quickmenu loads as favorites, the contents of the favorites folder inside the windows directory. Now if I delete this favorites folder from the windows directory, on Quickmenu, all I'm left with under favorites is a few Opera shortcuts that load Opera and do work.
Any ideas where these Opera favorites are found so I can manually add to this list?
Thanks for your help!
Wayne
interent link launcher uses mortsript to open internet link files (i'm not sure of the extension, i haven't had time to try it yet)
On the opera favorites, opera asks you where you want to save the bookmark file too when you create one.
Come on guys.....
I've found this and if you go down the list and find \urlfile\Shell\Open\Command : REG_SZ it shows the necessary registry entry that is needed to run a url file from explorer and when run this file opens within IE correctly.
There must be a command switch that follows OPERA9.EXE or OPERAL.EXE that interprets the file correctly and opens the web page.
For now I've got it set to open files in to IE. Not great but nearly what I want.
(I posted about this last night, but it got lost -- apologies if the old one comes back and I look like I've posted twice.)
I worked out a solution to this problem, and posted it up at ppcgeeks. You have to install mortscript, but otherwise it's not too bad, and has been working flawlessly for me.

Hope it helps.
I have SKTools, Total Commander, and Registry Key Editors.
I tried setting up file associations to open URL files, but it doesn't work. Only PIE opens the URL files by default.
Can I get the instructions to open URL files with Opera Browser?
Bump, please help me.
This is my 1st bump.
Bump, please help me.
This is my 2nd bump.
As far as I know you can set up thatparameters typing opera:config on your device
Hope it helped,
So do you mean the file associations parameters should be "opera:config"?
URL associations are set up by the app you're using.
if opera is defined as your default browser any url you'll open will automatically pop opera up.
Okay, I am using File Explorer and Total Commander. I want to Open .url files with Opera, it opens with PIE instead.
How do I open it?
What is a "default calendar"?
When I set URL file association for Total Commander, the link does not go online, instead it brings me to an error page. Under the URL box in Opera Browser, it would not show www.google.com, instead it would show something like: storage card/%mystuff/%20favorite links
So if I copied a google.com url into my phone storage card, I want to open it and GO ONLINE with Opera Browser NOT PIE. How do i do this?
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT, SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT KIND OF FILE I AM TALKING ABOUT.
meant browser.. not calendar.
when you setup a default browser it will open up all urls in it... automatically

I used Xperia Tweak to setup Opera Browser as my default browser, I still open google.url and it opens with PIE.
My basic file program is Total Commander.
BTW I am not talking about Microsoft Windows. I am talkin about Windows Mobile, and the phone I use is the Xperia X1.
Why is everyone giving me confusing answers. I'm getting more and more confused.
I have looked extremely hard for file associations for opera browser, and this is what i got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1714441
I do not use morthscript though, and I'm afraid digging into will cause me to factory reset my phone again, and I have rest my phone 10 times already.
Please, tell me if there is any other way to Open URLs via Opera Browser.
I have this program which i downloaded ages ago. I cant remember where i got it from, so im just uploading it myself. Just to clarify, this is NOT my program.
You know how on a pc, you can right click and select "Open with"?
Well, this cab brings that to pocket pc's
Hope it helps
Yeah this is exactly what I was looking for. The thread link from one of my posts also talks about "open with" method. But I don't want to use mortscript.
If your cab is not going to work, I guess I will give up searching for a solution.
Anyways thanks, you are my miracle!.
Here is an update:
Nope... it opens Opera Browser but than it doesn't go to the website (the same exact thing happens if I set file associations for Opera, and the same exact thing still happens if I use the registry editor to change association values, xperia tweak doesn't work, total commander built in file associations doesn't work, sk tools file associations doesn't work either).
I GIVE UP
Registry settings
Hi
Registry settings where file defaults are is:
Hot Key Classes Root.
In this directory there are hundreds (or more) keys relating to all the different file extensions that are associated with programmes, etc. You need to look for:
.htm
.html
htmfile
htmlfile
There may be others. Basically if these keys exist the values you're looking for are the ones with the browser executable listed in them, for example opera9.exe/operaL.exe, iexplore.exe.
I hope that helps

as i see it you ar not talking of .htm or .html files.
You are talking off .url File's
normaly (xp) they are handled by the protocol handler
in wm6.1 there is no such thing and it is directly handeled by iexplore
opera wil not handle these i gues
you need to find a app that reads the urlfile an launh the app with the correct parrameters
you also need this
\hkcr\http,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\http\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
\hkcr\https,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\https\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
or you can try http://sourceforge.net/projects/jzsmartmort

It involves installing Mortscript, and having it handle passing the links to Opera. Seems to be working perfectly for me so far. Hopefully my instructions are not too convoluted. Enjoy.
Could someone please help me get Opera to work as my default browser on the Fuze. I went through and found all I could on it but still won't work. I went into "opera:config" and then install and save. I then did a soft reset but when I open Opera it changes over to Media Net almost instantly. I'm new at this and have no idea what to do to change this. If anyone can help I'd sure appreciate your time.
Thanks
Opera is your default browser. You're confusing that with your default start page, which is Media Net. Just change your start page to whatever you want.
help with opera
I too fave fuze,with NATF rom. But I want opera off and IE inplace on the tab.
ive tried couple of ways, but no change.
Is there any way to make Opera Mini your default browser when you click a link????

I finally figured it out!!! This is what you do to make opera mini your default browser for links, sense ui, etc...:
Edit the following registry keys..This is assuming you installed Opera mini on the device memory not storage card.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Mini 5
"1"="\Program Files\Opera Mini 5\OperaMini5-WM-armv4i.exe\"
HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command\Default and I did it for backup to:
"\Program Files\Opera Mini 5\OperaMini5-WM-armv4i.exe" "%1"
P.S. the %1 is what passes the link on to Opera. Without it Opera will just open to your home page.
After you do this, do a soft reset and it should work..it works for me...
Let me know if you have any issues.........
hey thanks for the post!
i copied all of your settings exactly over, and it did make opera mini 5 my default browser...
however - it is just loading my speed dial when i click a link, and i included the %1.
any ideas??
EDIT:
I tried it without the %1 also with the same results. I put the %1 back in, and same thing.

Make sure you include all the " (quote marks) and the spaces in the string exactly as stated...double check that....

I double checked and its exactly as you typed.
Also, just to see, i removed the space between "\Program Files\Opera Mini 5\OperaMini5-WM-armv4i.exe" and "%1", and it made opera mobile my default browser again. So i put the space back in, soft reset, and opera mini now default again.
I was looking for this too. Anybody know how to disable the "Are you sure you want to exit" dialog box when you want to exit? I know you can do it from the top X, but I usually am always closing stuff by the bottom menu option.
I can't get the register tweaks done! It's the first time I'm doing this, so if someone can give me a little bit of help, it would be great. The problem is that I don't know if I have to delete the 'old' settings, for example in HKLM : 0= Opera and 1= OperaL.exe
hopefully someone can help me...

You dont have to delete the old ones, just overwrite them, for example:
replace 0=Opera with 0=Opera Mini 5
When I don't use the quote marks (0=Opera, 1=''\Progr....etc), then it gives a warning like: ': DEFBROWSER' can not be opened.
When I do use them (''0''= Opera, ''1''=''\Program...etc), then it gives a warning like 'Program' can not be opened.
is there maybe a problem because my phone uses Dutch as language? should I use 'Programmabestanden' in stead of 'Program Files'?
If it is on the storage card?
What would the path be if it is on the storage card...?
Storage Card\Program Files\Opera Mini 5\OperaMini5-WM-armv4i.exe" "%1"
Sorry for the noob question. But just wanted to double check.

Try this alternative registry key
Under \HKML\SOFTWARE\Opera, add a new registry folder:
"\Opera Mini\Backup\EFBROWSER".
Under this new folder, create 4 keys:
0 (registry type: REG_SZ): Opera Browser
1 (registry type: REG_SZ): "\Windows\OperaL.exe"
2 (registry type: Decimal): 1
3 (registry type: Decimal): 0
Enjoy!
