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 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. |

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. |
Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
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.

Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
When I go to choose Opera as the default program its not in the program files folder when browsing.

Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
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.

Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
Doc, I can't see that file in my Windows folder. Do you know the exact file?
|
Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
Not sure if you got the problem fixed yet but I was having the same issue.
The file was WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab under My Device>Windows. It is 3.96mb. I ran it and it has fixed my problem. |

Take a look at HKCR\_htmlfile_Opera and note the defaultIcon and shell\run\command values Code:
\Windows\OperaL.exe,-131 Fixing Mail requires one more change: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shell\rai\:D EFBROWSER had values set of 0 = "IExplore" and 1 = "iexplore.exe". I changed these to "Opera" and "\Windows\OperaL.exe", respectively. Now the mail links work just fine, too. There's probably a better way to do that, but it got the job done for me, at least. |
Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
Quick note - Thanks, your advice worked great

"iexplore.exe -u%1". Can I simply replace iexplore.exe with OperaL.exe? Is the -u needed? Also the value for DefaultIcon is browsres.dll,-6702. Should that be updated to something else. Thanks |

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER "0"=Opera Browser "1"=\Windows\OperaL.exe or to make it even easier you can just install this .cab that will do that for you. Make sure to give thanks to Relic for hooking it up. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...3&postcount=14 If this is not what you are asking, maybe you can actually mention what you are trying to do. |
Re: Sprint diamond opera is not the default browser anymore
I have made the registry edits which set Opera as the default browser and all seems to be working well.
wog13 also mentioned that the HKCR\urlfile key might be worth changing as well. For the sake of completeness, I would like to change the values of that key as well, which is why I asked what I asked. Thanks |
