How do I back up my opera bookmarks?
Previously I have just saved the whole opera program folder and then replaced it.
Is there just one file I can save that would do the same?
I've got opera 9.7 installed on my card, but in the 'Profiles' folder there is a file called "OPERA6.ADR" that appears to be the favorites. There's also a file called "COOKIES4.DAT" that stores cookies, and in the 'Secure' folder you'll find a file called "WAND.DAT" that has your login info.

hi,
I am having problem deleting an icon from the promgrams section of o2 XDA2.
I downloaded one program and later deleted the program through romeove program. The actual program has been deleted but has left behind an icon on the programs list. I cannot figure out a way how to delete it. Can anyone help

Deleting items in program list
Look in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" - they are all there.
use explore or what ever file browsing tool that you use to get your kicks
go into the dir called windows
go into the dir called start menu
go into the dir called programs or something like that
it's just like on a pc
Use File Explorer. Go to \Windows then \Start Menu. Open \Programs and do whatever you want.
My unit has been freezing up after some use. When that happens, my TenGO input method reverts back to the default tiny keyboard, which of course is unuseable in true VGA mode. I traced the problem to the fact that my browser had stored lots of files within the device and caused the memory availability to fall, depriving it from the programs.
I changed these browser files location to the SD card, and my TenGo input method right away came back by itself. The system also revert back to the normal quick speed.
None of these ideas originated from myself. There are many websites giving these tips.
Changing the IE brower cache, cookies, and history location:
---------------------------------------------------------
The IE working files are by default located at :
\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files
\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies
\windows\profiles\guest\history
First, use Files Explorer to create these directories at storage card:
\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files
\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies
\windows\profiles\guest\history
Then Use a registry edit tool,go to
\HKCU\Software\Microsfot\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and change the Cache,Cookies, and History value to \Storage Card\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files,..... etc
If you prefer not to edit the registry directly youself, you could alternatively, use SKtools (I use version 3.1.5) to do the following:
Start SKTool, then click Tuning
The first tab shows the current location of the above. Change it to the new locations: ie
Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files
Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies
Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\history
Exit SKtools
Switch off the device for about 20 seconds before doing a reset. It is important that you do not do reset right away else the registry entry may not be effected. The switching off will cause the system to write out the new registry entries.
With that, its done for Internet Explorer.
Changing the Cache, cookies, and history location for Opera Mobile
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ensure Opera is not running before you begin.
First,create these directories using file explorer:
\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera
\Microdrive\My Documents
Then, copy Cache4, cacheOp Help imgcss skin strtpage style directories to \storage card\Application Data\Opera.
After the copying is verified to be accurate, clean the content in the above directories in the device, but leave the directory structure there (with empty content) just in case.
Then, transfer these files from device to storage card by cutting these file from device and pasting to storage card
-browser
-chartables
-cookies4
-global
-htm40_entities
-opcacrt6
-opera.dir
-operand
-opssl6
-vlink4
Leave these in device directory :
-brwoser
-de
-englihs
-html40.entities
-input
-ja
-nl
-opera.ini
-opera6.adr
-pl
-ru
-zh-cn
-zh-tw Note: I think this list of languages differ from country to country. Notice that I've replicated browser and html40.entities in both location because none of the websites I read mentioned them. I leave them at both location to ensure it will still work, but I'd later on tried removing them from one location at a time to establish where Opera would look for these files.
Make changes to Opera.ini file
----------------------------
Initially, I tried to use Note application to open Opera.ini, but found out that it can't seem to "see" the file. Same goes for Pocket Word. I could'nt find the solution from other website, so I decided to use the desktop notepad text editor to edit it.
a) Establish activesync, on PC, use explore button to copy from device\Application Data\Opera to say the desktop.
b) Use the desktop notepad to open the Opera.ini file, and make the following changes to these entries:
- Opera Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera
- Help Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\Help
- Button Set=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\skin\windows_skin.zip
- Download Directory=\Microdrive\My Documents
- Home URL=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\startpage\home.html
c) Then save the document as Opera.ini, and make sure encoding is UTF-8
d) Copy back the edited Opera.ini from desktop to the Device's main memory. i.e \Application Data\Opera
Its done.
I'll continue to monitor the device performance over the next few weeks and see if the freezing still happens.

Hi confucious,
I'm not aware of a CAB that automates this. Could you post the link for the CAB?
Anything that makes life simpler is welcome.

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.
Is it possible to make a shortcut to the Games Folder (or any other folder) as a Quick Launch button on the today screen? I have several games and it would take up too many Quick Launch slots so just using one slot to the Games folder would be great.
/Tubgirl
You'll have to create the shortcut yourself using the file explorer (copy and 'paste shortcut'). Once you have the shortcut placed in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder you should be able to add it to the home screen.
In case you didn't know the Games folder itself is located in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs
Thank you profahmad. I'm new to Windows Mobile so I'm still learning.
I tried your tip and now I could add the Games folder to the quick links. Unfortunately I thought it would open upp the Games folder like it looks in the Start menu. Instead Resco Eplorer opened the folder. Well well... no biggie.
Interestingly enough when I tried the same thing with another folder called "Shoutcast" on my storage card (contains pls-files to Internet Radio channels) I could add the folder to the Quicklink but I couldn't open it.
Anyway... thanks for the help
I don't think it's possible to force the Start menu itself to open a particular folder directly. You'll have to stick with the default file-explorer you have associated with the folders, in your case that would be the Resco Explorer.

That's strange, did you create a shotcut and paste it into /Windows/Programs? I just tested it with a folder on my storage card and it works perfectly. You may have copied and pasted (and not pasted a shortcut) by accident. Try it again.

Aah you're right, Start Menu can't be forced so that's the best we can do at the moment.

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?

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.
