Opera Bookmark location

Hi all,
Does anyone know where does Opera 8.2 for Windows Mobile 5 (MDA) keep it's bookmark and user settings? Opera says that it's located in a file that is unique to the installation file (Symbian, WM5, etc.), but I don't know where is it.
Can anyone help?

In Opera 8.50 for Windows Mobile BETA (1635):
\Application Data\Opera\opera6.adr --> favorites (you can edit with notepad or something)
\Application Data\Opera\english.lng --> language file (you can edit with notepad and translate to your own language if wanted, save to english.lng because there is no way to switch languages in Opera itself)
\Application Data\Opera\input.ini & opera.ini --> settings voor the Opera browser itself

Thanks a mil, 2tje!

Cheers that did the trick....

Can someone please give me the file default associations for URL format?

1 How do I open URL's with Opera Browser by DEFAULT
2 I went into Total Commander and deleted the file association for URLs in attempt to make it work for Opera Browser on the Xperia.
Well, it doesn't work, and when I set it to iexplorer.exe the Xperia gives me infinite loops and freezes on me.
Can someone just give me the default association settings when they click on properties, I am sure this will fix my URL opening problem.

Download and install Xperiatweak, it has an option to set your default browser.

That doesn't apply to Total Commander or File Browser....
Dude you should try it. Save a URL on a real computer, transfer it into your phone, and then open it via any file browser.
It will open in Internet Explorer.
LISTEN PEOPLE, instead of giving suggestions that will not work, can someone just please follow these steps in Total Commander and tell me what is on the screen?
Step 0: Upload a .URL file into your storage card
Step 1: Click on Program Menus
Step 2: Click on Total Commander
Step 3: Press and hold on a URL file inside your memory card
Step 4: Click on properties
Step 5: Click on the Associate tab
Step 6: Click on the Associate button
Step 7: tell me exactly what is shown on the following fields: Command, Parameter, Icon File, and Index
I thank any angel that helps me out on this.

Someone please help me, I know one of you has total commander, can make URLs, and has windows mobile 6.1.

i had this problem also and have fixed most of the links to opera except for emails. the screenshots below show the associations for .html and .url which are different. i'm guessing .html is probably the one you want to copy but i have provided both just in case. i ended up using a cab as there are registry settings for others and i had problems with rss hub links. if i find the cab i'll post it but i got it from xda-devs general section i think, try a search for opera associations, opera rss or something like that.
EDIT: my email links do work, i'm sure there is something that still opens PIE but i can't remember. check the reg key HKLM> Software> microsoft> shell> rai> : DEFBROWSER
0=Opera Browser
1="\windows\OperaL.exe"

Thank you dear sir, I'll also look into searching the words: Opera and association
I didn't know about html associations. I'll see if your solution works (soon)!

All I get is a blank page, even thought I can still browse the internet and all, the URLs still dont open!!!!!!!!
The file I am trying to open is URL because when I save a bookmark or website url, I want to open it via Total Commander, exactly the way I open Microsoft Word Documents.
I have no idea what the heck .html files are, but anyways, your method and your registry cab does not work...
What am I doing wrong? And what exactly are .html files?

Please help me, I find it very inconvenient to be forced to go to Opera Browser and then open links from there.
It would be much easier to click a saved link and then open via opera browser.
I used PHM Registry Editor
and
ab 0 = Opera Browser
ab 1 = "\Windows\OperaL.exe
D 2 = 1 (0X000001)
D 3 = 0 (00000000)
It still doesnt work
1. Ok...what are HTML files?
2. What the heck does it mean to open Email links? Does it mean to open a URL like "www.hotmail.com"?
3. How do I open a website link from my Windows Vista that is transferred into Windows Mobile?
I tried your advice and it doesn't work. When I open www.google.com via a .URL file... this is what I get in the address bar in opera:
file:/Storage%20Card/My%Stuff/Google.url
I want to see this in the Opera address bar:
http://www.google.com/
I am basically talking about opening bookmarks in the form as URL. because bookmarks can only be saved in URL format via Internet Explorer or Mozilla firefox on my computer, so how do I open these bookmarks when transferred?

How to add Opera Mobile bookmarks with a .cab file?

Hello,
I can add favorites to IEMobile via a provisioning document in a .cab file. But how do I do this for Opera Mobile bookmarks?
Thank you very much.

It's simple, go on the opera dir, copy this file : "opera6.adr", and you have your bookmarks!
If you want, you can just copy manually this file each flash, or make a cab to copy it automatically.

And how can I do this with a .cab file or a provisoning document? I want to add bookmarks to specific URLs in Opera Mobile. And the user shall do nothing else than downloading my .cab file and install it.

Didn't have this problem, when I installed Opera 10 beta 2 it was automatically default opera
Try this cab and see if it works. If not just uninstall it

Hi junior64,
Opera will be cooked into your current ROM version so I doubt that you will be able to remove it. It's also embedded into a tf3d tab.
You could probably change it someway via a Registry Editor after installing Opera 10 and then set it as the default browser?

Didnt solve my problem

Worth a shot. I'll have a look at registry changes and see if I can find something

Hi again,
You can set Opera Mobile 10 the default browser, so that bookmarks launched from Manila's Internet tab will open there and not in Opera 9.x. To do this, try the following:
First, copy the entire contents of the /Program Files/Opera Mobile 10 folder into the /Windows folder. It's important to copy more than just the .exe file, otherwise the program won't launch.
Next, use a registry editor to change
/HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/EFBROWSER/1/"\Windows\OperaL.exe"
to
/HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/EFBROWSER/1/"\Windows\Opera10-armv4i.exe"
Finally, soft reset and you should be all set.
Best Regards.

No problem matey. Hope it will do as a fix. Unfortunately, I cannot see any way of removing Opera 9.5 because it's cooked into the ROM

still not working... and l detect that in start/ all programs, have 3 icons of opera one for 9.5 one for 9.7 and one for 10 and all the 3 working separetly as different browsers
And when l restart my phoneo got the message: the file "Om10qs" cannot be opened either is not signed or one if its component cannot be found
ps: opera 10 is working just not from the shortcut
and l found in the reg, HKLM/software/Apps/opera software opera mobile 10, the string:
ab " \program files\opera mobile 10
do l need to change it too for \windows\opera mobile 10
