Try exiting opera using the opera menu on the lower right side, then check.

I did the same, it was still running in task manager.

I was like WTH, until I just tried the in program exit.

I can't find any of the stuff you guys have mentioned, but one thing is for sure, I got a Opera9.exe and a OperaPreL.exe running all the time in the taskmanager. Even If i kill them, they come back instantly. In my Windows\Autostart (I don't have a Startup folder, I'm on a Swedish stock ROM which may be the reason) I have AutoShortcut, HTCStartUp, iLock2, poutlook, SIPChange. I searched the registry and nothing at all..

Hmm sorry Art. I wish I could tell you where to look. Did you check the registry like I suggested above.

Yea I did check hkcu\software\htc\bootlauncher, but I had no Opera folder there. I also searched the whole device registry for "Opera" but found nothing that had anything to do with startup :/ Well I guess I have to live with it, the two processes only takes 1kb each according to TaskManager.

And eat a bunch of battery too!

I at least managed to kill the both processes now (had to kill OperaPreL.exe first to get them both gone), no problem for me to kill them right after bootup so I guess this is my solution for this

Sorry man. Like I said, try a different ROM. The ones here are CDMA and will only work on phones in the US.

Yey, Stock ROM 2.03 fixed the startup problem. Opera is no longer started on startup
