Opera Settings back to default?

lifeuw19 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-22-2009, 05:48 PM

So I took the advice of someone on here and I messed up my Opera. My TP2 was displaying everything in mobile views. I wanted to change that. So someone on here said to change 2 things. Well... that messed up my browser, so I need to set it back to default. Shame on me for not writing them down. Can anyone help? I do NOT want to hard reset over this error... just need the default factory settings for the following.

Here's what I changed.
Under Opera:config
User Prefs
Changed Customer User-Agent to Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0; en)
Don't remember what is was!

Cleared out UAProf URL... can't remember what it was.

These changes have messed up my entire browser. How can you change back to the default settings? I would think clicking on "default" right next to these entries would do it, but it does not. PLEASE HELP!

My version is 9.5, build 16983

All u had to do to see desktop versions of websites is to leave the Customer User-Agent blank...

Let me re-phrase that... If you use the search bar in TF3D it will still display mobile pages but if u click the earth and search while inside the browser u will then see desktop versions of your websites

Hey, give my opera cab a shot. This will overwrite your screwed up Config, and will add speed and other enhancements.
See my thread here:

Here is the attatched .cab

To get back to the opera defaults, in case you're interested, just delete the /Windows/Opera9/opera.ini file. Launch opera and it will recreate a default one for you.

thanks for all the QUICK feedback. Hypnotic... I am going to try your cab out tonight. I'm also going to sant to backup my fav's... refresh my memory. Where is that file saved? And it Opera6 or something like that, right? Thanks!

Favourites are stored in \Windows\Opera9\opera6.adr

Quick question. I noticed you mentioned in your other thread to "Back up your original file"... what file would that be?

THANKS!

That's probably the opera.ini file in the Windows/Opera9 folder.

I did this... and no new one was recreated. I do not have an "opera.ini" file in my windows/opera9 folder.

What version of Opera are you using? If per chance you've installed 9.7 then I apologize for not thinking to mention that its' opera.ini file will be in the Program Files/Opera folder instead.

If you're using the stock Opera then I'm not sure why it is not being recreated. I tested this out myself in the past. Did you try a soft reset?
