Hi falfan762, I had the same issue when I was using Opera via third party such as LiberKey. When I launched Opera from the opera.exe, no the launcher provided by LiberKey everything worked fine. The only difference I noticed was that via the launcher the user profile and cache folders were not at their defaults (AppData/temp/etc...) but instead in the LiberKey folder.
Therefore, if worried of using --no-sandbox, perhaps check what are your profile, cache, etc. folders (the ones Opera works with) and change to default. (e.g. Profile: $username$\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable; Cache: $username$\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable).
It worked for me, hope it works for you.

Windows 7 and 8.1 won't let me modify the shortcut for launcher.exe or opera.exe, so Firefox it is!

"The name 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe --no-sandbox' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."
Both Win 7 PCs give that error. Win 8.1 also...

Are you adding the parameter after the quoted path, like this?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera beta\launcher.exe" --no-sandbox

No, I entered it just as previously posted, with the parameter inside the quotation marks. I'll try as you suggest and post the results.

I was able to save the modification to the icon properties by entering the parameter outside the quotation marks in Win 8.1 and will try the same on Win 7 later.

FWIW, I "upgraded" to Windows 10 on my laptop with Windows 8.1, removed "--no-sandbox", upgraded Comodo Firewall, and Opera works normally again! I want to point out that both PCs that had this problem ALSO had Comodo Firewall. Thank you again for all the help...
