Association URL with Opera

Hello, I have a Touch Pro. I copied my favorites from PIE from my old phone (Moto Q) to a directory on the TP. Now, when I browse the directory and double click a URL file, it launches PIE. Is there anyway to change this to launch Opera instead?

I did this red edit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"

And that works for when I have a link in an email, it launches Opera, not PIE, which is good.

I used Total Commander to change the file association for URL's to Operal.exe instead of iexplorer. But, when I double click on a URL file, it opens Opera, but just shows a blank page.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Association URL with Opera

Post up a couple of the links so we can test them. This seams to be a Touch Pro issue so I will move this thread to that forum

Re: Association URL with Opera

Sure, here are a few of the files. I launch them via the built in File Explorer (or Total Commander). Both programs open Internet Explorer instead of Opera.

Thanks.

Re: Association URL with Opera

I can get it to open Opera but not load the page. Here is what I have done


To change the icon
HKCR\urlfile\DefaultIcon\
(Default)
\Windows\OperaL.exe,-101

To chage the association
HKCR\urlfile\Shell\Open\Command\
(Default)
"\Windows\OperaL.exe" /Unescaped file:%1

This opens opera but will not load the page.
I have also tried
\Windows\OperaL.exe /Unescaped file:%1
\Windows\OperaL.exe file:%1
"\Windows\OperaL.exe" file:%1

Thanks for trying. For now, I just let it open in PIE, then copy the URL and open Opera. Not the perfect solution, but it works.

Re: Association URL with Opera

I just wrote up a method to make Opera actually open the system favorites. It's fairly painless.
