how can i set opera as the default browser? im looking in default programs and opera just isnt listed there.

doesnt Opera have something in it to make it check to see if it is the default browser?

with Firefox, all i did was have it check, and then i clicked the button to make it the default.

i never messed with Vista's built in default program selector.

you must do it from the Opera browser itself, not from Vista's default programs feature.

From the Opera browser, click on Tools, select Preferences, click on the Advanced tab and click on Programs.

Check the box that says "Check if Opera is default browser on Startup"

click OK to save changes

that doesnt work, it doesnt work with FF either. check google and you can see hundreds of threads that state that.

try making an html file and see what it opens with..
