I found the fix was to edit the Windows\Opera9\opera.ini file (pword works fine as an editor). Scroll down to the [User Prefs] section and locate the "Maximum Allowed Tabs=2" and change it to what ever number you prefer. You will need to soft reset for the change to take effect.

Just to explain that post in a little more detail as I've received questions about it too...

First you'll have to use something like Resco Explorer or Total Commander to browse your device and locate the windows\opera9\opera.ini file. The standard File Explorer will not work because it won't be able to open an INI file. Once you have a file explorer installed that can open INI files, navigate to the Windows folder, then to the Opera9 folder. Then locate the opera.ini file and edit it.

With TotalCommander, simply highlight the file, click on File, then Edit. This will open the opera.ini file in a built-in editor.

When you use Resco Explorer and locate the opera.ini file, tap the file and you'll be asked what you want to open it with...a list will appear. Unfortunately Pocket Word (pword) is not in that list so you'll then click on the Browse button. That will present a list of all applications in the Windows folder. Scroll down until you find "pword" and select it. That will launch Pocket Word and will open your opera.ini file within it so you can edit it.

Once you have the opera.ini file open, scroll down to the [User Prefs] section and locate the "Maximum Allowed Tabs=2". Then change it to what ever number you prefer. Then click on File | Save, then File | Exit. You will need to soft reset for the change to take effect.

There are probably other ways to edit the file. These are the only two I could / would think of.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I didn't read the whole thread, but the "stealth internet tethering cab," what does it actually do?

Does it just modify these registry
1. Edit the following regestry entries.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

and turn off CMGuardian by this
The program running in the background is called "CMGuardian", and
you'll find it in the registry under HKLM/Services/CMGuardian and
HKLM/Services/CMGuaridan

I set the DWORD key "Flags" to 4 in both keys and soft reset.

? I have Sprint and did this is this all I need? What would the cab do?

Found it over at XDA.

Opera in Task Manager (Thanks to Quarintus)
Code:

• Go to: HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
• There delete Opera9.exe (now it will show in the task manager)

To close opera by pressing the X-button instead of minimizing it follow these steps:(Thanks to Quarintus)
Code:

• Go to: HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess
• There, create a DWORD with the name Opera9.exe value "1"
  

If i've helped you, please don't forget to hit the thanks.

ive tried to find this. where is the folder and how can i get to it? hcku where can i find that?

Manila Modifications

1) Background For All Pages - Have the same background in every TF3D tab.


2) No Top Curtain - Remove Semi-Transparent curtain on homescreen.

3) No Bottom Curtain - Remove Semi-Transparent curtain on homescreen.

The links to remove the top and bottom curtain are broken.... Anyone have the links to the file?

Also whenever I install the BG4AP cab, I end up with a blank white box between the clock numbers... any fix for that?

This can be fixed by making your own wallpaper with HD Walls

• Call History - press to go to call history page
• Calendar - shows number of appointments available within 48hrs. Pressing the button will go straight to calendar page
• SMS/MMS - press to go to SMS page
• Mail - press to go to mail page

It also allows you to change the clock for several alternative choices. Adds a whole slew of other features too.

Thank you very much Covkid66. I am still pretty new to this phone, so I am just running whatever Manila Sprint put on it. In fact I was wondering why everyone kept mentioning Manila until I opened the file explorer and saw a bunch of files named Manila in \windows.

Still climbing the learning curve......
