Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
 

Hi, I tried to search this but couldn't find an answer. just wondering if anyone can help me to chang opera back as the default browser. whenever i open a link from my email, it would open ie instead. i installed skyfire the other day, and notice it's not working for my diamond so i unstalled it right away. this happened after the uninstallation. I think probably when i unstall skyfire, it assigned ie as the default browser instead. please let me know how to change it back, ie is driving me crazy. haha. thanks.

I though thats just how it was? Im on Juicy's ROM and it opens links from an email into IE.

no, opera is the default, it always been opening opera automatically until i installed and uninstalled skyfire.

I know that with the latest version of Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT) you can change file associations. Install ACT and then load it. Click on Menu, More Settings, File Associations. Scroll down to .htm, .html, etc and highlight the entry. Then below, choose the default program to open those files (Opera) and then save all settings and soft reset.

I have attached the version that I am running on my Diamond.

thanks, i installed it, but it say that i don't have the latest microsoft.net to run it. i would think that since this is a new phone, it would have the latest .net . is 3.5 the version i need? i prob won't be able to install it till i go home.

edit: before i do anything else i need to ask this, should i install the 3.5 version of .net? will this do anything else funny on my phone? i am just very surprise that since the phone is so new, it doesn't come with the latest version of .net. again i have the sprint version diamond.

Yeah, 3.5 is the latest of the .NET CF. It won't do anything bad to your phone and a lot of the apps/games that use the accelerometer use .NET anyway. Get 3.5 here:

Good luck and let us know if it works for you.

When I go to choose Opera as the default program its not in the program files folder when browsing.

If you want Opera to be the default browser just re-run the Cab file in your windows directory, I believe it is called, "WM6_HTC_PPC_Opera.cab' or something close to that, it will not delete your bookmarks, history or cookies. I did this myself and it worked like a charm.
