Re: Is there a way to disable Opera auto-start??

I remember this being any issue when trying to upgrade to different versions of Opera on the TP1, when there was an Opera build already cooked into the rom. I also remembered there being a registry key that you could delete in HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher, I believe the key was named simply "Opera". It was in one of the bootlauncher sub-folders.

However, this key does not seem to exist on the TP2.

I am old fashioned and prefer not to use TF3D, and have no need for that Opera process to be running in the background on startup. It's annoying as well because I use the QuickMenu start menu replacement with the built in task manager, and Opera always shows there and cannot be closed. If I stop the process in dotfred's task manager, it immediately starts back up.

How do I disable this??
