Found Opera 9.7 favorites!....way too obvious

[kirstein]

After spending some time searching the the forums for info on where the opera 9.7 favorites moved to I decided to hunt them up myself. Turns out they are in a called \Windows\Favorites. Could it have been any more obvious.

What's even better is that they are standard .url links, just like what you would put on your windows PC desktop. That means that you can drag favorites right from your PC desktop to your phone's \Windows\Favorites directory using Activesync or mobile device center.

I was able to just drag bookmarks right from Firefox to the desktop and then into my phone.
You can also back up your shortcuts by just backing up the \windows\favorites directory.


edit: This is also the directory that IE uses. That means that bookmarks appear in both browsers. Good idea!

I found this in windows 6.5.5 using Vin's Plutonium build. I would expect this structure would be the same in all the Opera 9.7 builds. Let me know if this doesn't apply to other roms.
