[buttsbuttsbutts]

Tired of everything opening/popping up in IE is there a registry hack I can use to make Opera my default browser?

I would also love to know. Plus how to get push internet pages.

Have you tried this typing Opera:config into the address bar, and then selecting the option to make it the default browser?

Thanks for the config tip. I tried this a few times but Opera never seems to save the settings after I exit. I make the change, save it, & close Opera. Then I restart, open the config screen to confirm the change but the box is still unticked. I might have to edit the .ini file and I don't have time for that at work at the moment. Any other ideas?

Have you tried to use the no push internet to really close opera? It seems you doesn´t closed it, as it has not saved

Not sure what the issue was but I got the settings to stick finally. All of my links now default to Opera except of course TF3D. Thanks for the help.

Hey, you mind sharing what you did in case someone else has a problem?

Which config category is it under? I expanded all of them but didn't see a default browser box?

 

[Arcarsenal]

go to opera:config, navigate to the "Install" category.
Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save.
Exit Opera, then restart.

Might have to do this few times because it took a few tries to get it to stick for me.

damn it, not working for me. Everytime i exit opera it resets even BEFORE i restart the phone. I have tried 5 times now.

Any other way?

try this cab.

 

[jim_0068]

try this cab.

Unfortunately this cab didn't work either, however i can't un-install it. It isn't listed in the remove programs area, do i need a registry editor to get it back to normal?

Thanks

I have no idea why this works but immediately after I saved the setting, I went a random website in opera and the setting stayed.

 

[HeavyComponent]

Not working for me either, I gave up on it.

This worked great on my new HTC touch pro2. I clicked on an email link and it took me to the opera browser and opened the link.
What does it change exactly on the registery, and how to revert to IE just in case?

Thanks a million.

I cannot figure out where to find the Opera:Configure setting?

Thanks in advance,

This migt be helpful, once you click on the option to make opera the default browser, go to options and hit exit, opera will ask you if you want to exit or minimize, just hit exit. this way it saved the settings for me.
