Opera has always been known for its configurability. You can change both how it behaves and how it looks.

This is where you can set how Opera works. You can access the preferences in Opera by pressing Alt+P or by going to Tools > Preferences.

A selection of the most used preference settings is gathered in the Quick Preferences for instant access. Press F12 or go to Tools > Quick preferences and have a look.

Not all pages are the same. Sometimes, you may want to apply one preference to most sites, but selectively apply a different preference to a few specific sites. For example, you may want to disable unrequested pop-ups by default, but you may use some sites that rely on being able to use unrequested pop-ups.

Opera allows you to set several preferences for individual sites using site preferences. While visiting the site, right click on the page (or press F12) and select Edit site preferences.

Once a preference has been set in site preferences, all preferences in that section will be used instead of the global preferences. To manage or remove site preferences, use Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > Manage site preferences.

For further information about Opera's preferences, press F1 and access the built-in help files.

More advanced preference management

The preferences dialogs provide access to most commonly used preferences. If you need more control over preferences, you can use the inbuilt preference editor. This is available using by typing the following address into the address bar, and pressing Enter; opera:config

To find out which files Opera uses for bookmarks, cache, mail, settings etc, simply go to Help > About Opera. The locations (paths) of these files are shown there.

All the preference settings are saved in a file called "Opera6.ini", which is located either in your main Opera folder (where you installed Opera) or in C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data\Opera folder if you installed Opera with the "Use separate settings for each user" option checked. Although you can open "Opera6.ini" with any text editor, and make your desired modifications (while Opera is not running), it is easier to use the inbuilt editor.

Computer Repair and Computer Technical Support will always be provided by Microsoft certified techs 24x7.
