wm 6.1..removing the opera browser

[cjbtreo]

i upgraded to the new rom but i dont like the opera browser, much rather use opera mini and skyfire, which i have both. i even like pie better. anyway my problem is I deleted opera or i think i did its not in my programs,start menu,etc. but for example if i get a picture message it still tries to open in opera,but since i deleted it i get an error. what file do i need to delete to get if off completely. i received my text for skyfire today and it tried to open in opera,got the error so i copied the link and opened in pie. how do i totally remove opera thanks!

I've read this somewhere. I have not tried it. But it's worth a try. You have to go to opera and download the exact browser. It has to be the same one that's on the phone now. I think it's 8.65? Anyways, it will prompt you when you download to delete the exisiting one first. Tap O.K. Then after downloading, you should be able to go to remove programs and find it there. Then you should be able to remove it like any other program. Hope it helps. Give it a try and report back. Thanks T M Z

There's also an app called JZSmartMort that will reset all your defaults for file associations. I had the same problem (even after reinstalling and uninstalling) and it fixed it for me. I'll attach it. You need mortscript to run it but I think mortscript is included in the cab. Not sure though. Anyhow, good luck.

There was no file attached to your message

Besides the file associations, there's a default browser key in the registry. Check and see if that's set to Opera:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER\1

Set it to the path of whichever browser you want to use.

what would you set that file to just for IE?

Or should I just delete the files for Opera and be done with it.


I tried to download Opera 8.65 to the phone and install but i'm getting an error, so i'll download it to the comp and transfer the file over.
