Opera Presto - what to back up?

"Too late!":D

I haven't found any "profile" folder [here]( "C:\Documents and Settings\Svyaznoy\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera") (tried three different ways etc.), so I've backed up the entire \Opera\Opera folder.
Right?

The question now is how do I find the aforementioned files there in case something's happened!

I apologize! In my path directions for the 'normal' Opera installation, the path should not have ended at a "profile" subfolder, but instead ended at the second "opera" folder:

c:\Documents and Settings(*account username)\Application data\Opera\Opera

I was looking on my little-used XP system at the one Opera version installation there that no longer is operative out of the 5 on the system, and the one which I had long ago moved everything into (and added) the final "profile" subfolder, just in case I ever wanted to restore it. Your actual 'profile' folder for backing up would be the 'second' "opera" subfolder noted in the path above, though if you changed the folder name at the time of installation, it might be some other term.

Have you checked Menu > Help > About Opera?

The path is there.

I guess I did.
I entered the path directly - "not found".

Have you set up Windows to show hidden files/folders?

Of course, because it's hiden by default. You need to change your Windows Explorer settings to show the hidden folders.

"Hidden" within hidden?

Well, these are the folders (subfolders) (and a file) that I can see in that second "Opera" folder:

• application_cache,
• cache,
• custom,
• icons,
• mail,
• opcache,
• temporary_downloads,
• thumbnails,
• vps,
• widgets,
  and the only not subfoldered file is a txt file named upgrade.

Which one is for what? And do I maybe miss something, Leo?

That time I thought I'd already found, and I wasn't with Opera.
