Thread: Saving the current status of the browser automatically Opera

Important settings such as bookmarks or sessions should be automatically saved by the browser.

Although the free tool 'Opera Launcher' primarily serves the purpose of a couple of additional settings on starting the browser, it is very useful for au'tomatically backing up data. On the page, click 'Download File' and select a suitable memory location in the dialog. The ZIP-Archive can be extracted and copied from the file 'OperaLauncher.exe' in the program folder of Opera. The tool brings up the configuration window when you start it for the first time. Keep the backup options activated and change the intervals if required between the data backups. Otherwise, you can define a relevant key combination with the option 'Enable keystrokes' and which will be automatically run with the Opera-Start. For example, switch on the full screen mode by pressing '{F11}'. In case of special keys, use the character '" for [Ctrl), '!' for [Alt) and '+' for [Shift). Confirm the settings with 'OK'.

In the future, you can choose to start Opera through this tool as it accomplishes all determined tasks in the background automatically. For a data backup, you will find the relevant files in Windows Explorer in the profile folder of Opera. For that, enter '%AppData%' in the address row, press Enter 'and navigate furth~r to the sub fold,er 'Opera\ Opera\profile\backups'. Search for the desired files 'opera6.adr' and 'notes.adr' with the suitable date identifications in the name an'd copy this to the profile folder. There, change the name in 'opera6.adr' and 'notes.adr' respectively. If you don't find it, you can create it yourself. Right click on the empty white space in the folder and create a new text document. Rename it to 'notes.adr' or 'opera6.adr' in case you don't find these files.

Note:

The configuration of the start program cannot be called later. To be able to make changes to the settings you will either need to edit the 'OperaLauncher.ini' file or you could choose to delete this file to bring up the configuration window again.
