You can do that in the opera settings within the program (at least on the version I am using). If you want to change it for manila, you can try the settings below:

Code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DefaultBrowserIsIE"=dword:00000000

Start up Opera, then depedning upon the version check the menu | settings | advanced | set opera as default browser. If that is not an option, then you have to load the preferences by typing opera:config in the address bar and then when the preferences appear, expand Install section, check the "Browser First Time Launch" box and click on the Save button. Exit Opera and restart it.
