prathapml Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 whatcha talking about Something wrong with what you did to it, lol.Tools >> Prefs >> Default App >> Protocols.Ask opera to handle the http protocol and whatever else you want it to. So after that no matter what crap your messenger (or ANY **** app) throws out, opera will ALWAYS be the one to open the site. Firefox is the one with all that bloat (click monitor, yadda yadda...), not opera. All the big guys are on Opera d00d! (no offense to others intended)fixed now?

XtremeMaC Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 it doesn't work on my opera, i've tried it many times but msn, i think is hard coded or something, it always opens up internet explorer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 sorry, i should have specified, when i open emails from msn, it opens in IE, how do i direct that to opera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 yup, understood what you both are meaning....I've been on opera since v5.12 (way back in 1999 ) and been using yahoo/MSN/trillian/ANY~CLIENTAnd other apps as well - like prolly e-mail clients, klite, whatever.In every single case opera beautifully handles every request (or address as you might like) coming for the http protocol.All apps sending http addresses automatically will send it to opera! And as you both know I'm on msn, and I don't have the problem you are - so there you go! Proof!See screenshot for my setup of the handlers. I just don't see why its not working for you, coz all the way from v5.12 to v8.0beta its just perfect for me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hmmm....MSN 6 and 7 both gives same results for you?Okay, pls try windows messenger (the one coming with SP2 - 4.7.3000) and tell me whether even that still opens in IE ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeMaC Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=71773says its done with stuff plugindid u check your defaults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I did not use any 3rd party tools!When opera starts first-time it asks to be given default browser status, and I agree to it since opera is default for me anyway. After that, settings as in the above screen-shot.That's all I needed to do. You probably have IE fighting with opera (for url associations) on your system.
