Ok I may just be going stupid here but I want to delete some of the bookmarks that Opera seems to have as defualt. Ie when you go to the internet page it has a list of bookmarks you can choose below the planet. And when you go into bookmarks it has the links for Google UK, Wikipedia etc, what I want to do is delete some of these, is there a way?
I can't for the life of me see a way to delete them?
If Opera Mobile is still having more or less the same interface, then press the star symbol to go bookmark. Place your cursor on the bookmark to delete, then press the symbol that looks like a tool (shape of X). A dialog will appear to ask you if you want to delete it. Click delete button.
Let me know if it still work this way in this version of Opera. Cheers.
Thanks eaglesteve.
The only problem is if I tap on one of the bookmarks it launches the browser and goes to that bookmark. As there is no keyboard in the bookmark view I don't have the arrows on the keyboard to navigate down the list and select the bookmark that way. If I create my own bookmarks its not a problem, it just seems you can't delete these defualt bookmarks

That works if you want to delete the first bookmark on the list that is already highlighted. When I try to choose different bookmark it tends to just open the link. Another method is to press and HOLD the bookmark and a screen will pop up with the delete option amongst others.
Yes, the lack of D-pad makes this untuitive, but not to worry, there is another way:
Press on that item and HOLD until you see the pop up dialog letting you delete that bookmark then.

Don't tap it, just place your finger and keep it there for awhile on top of the bookmark you want to delete and you'll get a menu where you can choose what you want to do with that bookmark.
Hi, all,
Sorry to gate-crash here, but I'm a new member and haven't found the Opera section of this forum, yet.
Does anyone know how to relabel the Speed Dial icons in Opera?
thanks eaglesteve! that worked like a charm !!
You wouldnt hapend to know how to organize the favorites ? like moving them up or down. like if you want the most visited sites on top and less visited further down the line.
thanks

I see here for example how to change your homepage in Internet Exporer, but I wonder if it's possible to put my list of favorites as my homepage, or better yet, make the "Favorites" page (the one you get by going "Internet Explorer - Menu - Favorites...") come up every time I press the IE hardware button. By default, IE comes up on the last page visited, including on the "Favorites" page if it was last, or on the homepage if you are starting IE fresh.
You could always write your own webpage with links to all your favorite sites and have this as your home page.
Yeah, I thought of simply exporting mobile favorites to an html file and making that the homepage, but then I will need to update the file manually when I edit favorites in any way. Also, that registry tweak expects a site link, not an html file on the device. I could talk to our net admin at work to host the file, but it seems like a hassle.
Any way to attach a hardware button to the IE's "Favorites" page directly?

You mean like "file://\My Documents\arse.html" :roll:
make your home page file://\windows\favorites
Thanks, guys. I got down to actually changing the registry, and found out that I do not have a "Start Page" value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main. I added it, it did not help. Tried to delete default.htm and substitute my own file there, the OS does not allow me. Total Commander says the file is "in ROM".
Then I went to Internet Explorer and found Tools - Options - General. You can change the home page there.
but only to the webpage you are visiting at that time. When I am in the favorites page, I cannot set that as homepage since it does not have the menu option at the bottom...
Export your mobile favorites to an *.htm file, open that file with IE, then go to the menu.
Is it possible to save a webpage on the HD? You know, just like on the PC, you can save a webpage to view it later off-line.
I presume your using Opera? Go to your webpage you want to save, then just tap bottom right of the screen, then on the STAR Tab. Tap on the PLUS sign on the bottom left and lastly the TICK! You can also put it into a certain folder too!

Thats to create a favorite, I think the post is asking to save the page to view off line in the HD cache, nut sure if by creating a favorite you can view it off line, I am sure someone will tell us.
That's correct. I am not referring to saving a favorite, but rather to saving the page itself to view later without having to connect to the internet again. I don't know if it is possible.

In Menu-Tools, I don't have an option to save as. I only see History, Send Link, Properties and Options. And none of those give me the option to save as.
oops my mistake!

In Opera, touch&hold your finger while in the middle of a webpage, all of a sudden a context menu will appear, there is an option amongst others that says "Save webpage" and another one "Add to Bookmarks".

Really? Is it THAT simple? Cool, I'll have to try it after my HD is done charging.

To what location are they saved?
Yes it is, saved pages can be found under Application Data\Opera\saved pages\ under a default name. You could probably transfer these files anywhere later on and access them from File Explorer (tried that and it works).
Another way to access the page: click the rightmost icon in the bottom soft bar in Opera (the same bar where you can also add to favorites). An option "Saved pages" shows you all the saved pages like they were favorites/bookmarks.
Maybe there is a way to configure the default saved pages folder ... (haven't found anything under opera:config)
BEWARE when you open the file: the phone will probably try to establish a connection via GRPS, it's best to turn on the notification of a GRPS connection, that way you are notified and asked before such a connection can be established.

which of the two do you want to delete? the internet mobile of the HTC one?
Anyway, it does not matter which one you want to delete. IMHO there are two ways to delete one of them:
1. On the internet tab, yo have on the bottom two possibilities, e.g. menu and favorites. Press menu and you will get the items add or remove favorite quicklink. Press the x of the one you want to delete and its finished. If that does not work, the you can try:
2. Instead of pressing the menu on the bottom, press favorites. Also, there you have on the right bottom the menu possibility. Press menu and choose delete. When you pressed delete, you will see empty squares right to each favorite. Tick the one you want to delete and press ready (left bottom knob). Job done.
With a registry editor, have a look at
HKLM/software/htc/manila/Home/ and you will see a set of numbers, 0-9 (or more)
These are the links on the home page.
Have a look in the 0 one, and scroll down to 'IsReadOnly'. I think that will be set to 1, , change that to 0 and it should unlock the shortcut, then you can delete it.

I am sure that the solution posted by samsamuel and kuzibri is not working.
The way to delete is very simple for me, tap and hold the shortcut you want to delete until a notice "Drag and release the shortcut to remove" appeared. Then, pull it out of thumbnail area, done!
However, I am not sure it work always because I used Co0ckie Home Tab V 1.7.1 and CHTEditor 1.7.1
Does anyone know how to change the internet favorite icons on the HD2? I set my link and the icon shows a picture of an internet site that isn't the favorite.
Sometimes the picture doesn't even come up. It's still the empty black box with the name of the favorite in it.
After you set it as a favorite in the visual bookmarks, you have to shutdown the browser, then open it using the new tab. After that, it will show the first page of the site thats assigned to that tab.
If you want to get rid of the existing site on a tab, just long press on it then drag it to the edge till it turns red. Tab is now empty and ready for a new bookmark assignment.
Hope that helps
I tried that. It worked for most of the icons but there are a couple that keep putting up the Wikipedia page for a favorite that isn't Wikipedia. It's super annoying.
Hi. I have recently got a Touch 2. On the tabs along the bottom of the screen, the fifth tab from the left is the one featuring a 'globe' icon. Tapping it opens the 'Opera' browser. I prefer using Internet Explorer and (at the moment) have to open that by using the 'Start' menu. Is there a way of making IE the default browser so that it starts when the 'globe' tab is tapped? I imagine this requires dumping of 'Opera' and making tapping of the 'globe' icon leading to IE. HTC gave me a solution, then, when that didn't work, said, 'It can't be done.' Any ideas? Cheers
I know exactly what you need...
1. Find application called M2DC on this forum.
2. Install it.
3. Run it. There are some tabs at the bottom of the screen.
4. Find tab "Internet" and click on it.
5. Then change the path to the Internet Explorer in the Windows folder.
6. That's it. You should be able to use globe icon to run IE.
(I am not sure, but you maybe need to softreset the phone after changing that.)
Hi, Mekki99.
I did that and it works, well almost. IE starts from the tab on the 'Today' screen, but then says 'Cannot find 'hxxp:///home'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.' If I advance to the relevant menu to go to the 'Home' page, it finds the one i have lodged as the Home Page. Where to from here? Cheers.
why do you wanna surf the net with internet explorer and not opera mini 5, which is super fast compared to the old opera or internet explorer?
Quite simply, I prefer IE. Thanks.
Hello, my solution for this problem:
In TotalCommander go into registry folder (\\Plugins\registry)and go to \HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\
1.Changing browser- open file (WebBrowserType) and change value from 1 to 2.
2.Changing URL- open folder Customized and find file (BannerUrl) and change value to your favorite homepage.
3.Restart
Hi. Thanks for your solution.
Can you help me a bit further?
What is TotalCommander?
How do I get to the quoted registry folder?
Cheers
Hi, Ondrej.
Don't worry, I have followed your directions using a bit of lateral thinking and solved that issue. Thanks heaps.
Now can you turn your mind to the problem I relate in thread 730375 (On the 'Start' menu, there are a number of icons / applications. They all start with one tap. Except 'Internet Explorer'. The first tap on the IE icon, takes you back to the 'Today' screen, with 'Internet Explorer' briefly being able to be seen in place of 'Start', then the words disappear. However, the programme does not run. On tapping 'Start', again, and then tapping once on the 'IE' icon (again), it runs. This happens every time I want to use IE. Why? HTC Contact Centre suggested I place IE on the 'Programs' page and try that. It was the same. They have failed to respond to my response. Is there a remedy? The same behaviour occurs when opening from the 'Programs' tab on the 'Today' screen, or from the 'Browser' tab on the 'Today' screen'.)
Cheers. Dave
Hi, TotalCommander is a file manager program for windows. You have to download and install a pocket pc version. Because Iam new here, I cant write you url. Please find this program on internet. (Download cab for arm/pxa/xscale).
Start a TotalCommander and go into root (\) You will see a \\Plugins folder.
Hi, Ondrej.
Thanks. See my last post before yours. I have fixed that issue, but want to resolve the last one! Any help appreciated. Cheers.
I'm working on it.
Thanks, Ondrej.

Here with me, I don't want to use IE, I prefer to use Opera. The HTC im using came with Opera Mobile 9.5 and is the browser that opens when i click on the globe on one of the tabs of M2D. I downloaded mobile opera 10 for windows touch phones thinking that it will update the current opera browser, and to my dissatisfaction - it did not. Opera Mobile 10 appears on my program list.
How do I make it the browser that opens when i click on the globe? Should I follow the instructions provided in this thread? I don't want to mess up my registry and have irreversible issues.

Is this the same procedure if I would like to change it to any browser, say Opera Mobile 10? The person who started this thread wrote he got problems after he did this operation.
