How to delete previous tabs/windows without opening latest Opera?

When I tried to play a video on YouTube the whole system locked into a blue screen. I've seen this before but was testing it in the latest Opera. The problem is Opera is set to automatically load previous tabs/windows so it just freezes immediately upon launching Opera. Where are those tabs located (Documents and Settings somewhere?) where I can delete them?

Version of Windows? MS seems to change the preferred user data path every couple of versions ...
On my (Windows 7) computer, it is C:\Users{username}\Appdata\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\
I believe you'll see two files there with Session in the name - just delete both of them. (I've set my Opera to open with the Speed Dial screen, so I don't have those files.)

Its fixed. I was able to close the tab the second it started loading. Practice makes perfect. Also, I just realized I could have just unplugged the LAN cable until the tabs/windows have been closed. I changed the startup settings of course.

Generally blue screens of death in modern versions of Windows are caused by either bad drivers or damaged system files. It is probably time to give your system a good cleaning with some anti-malware tools and make sure all your drivers and system files are in good order. A defrag (unless you are on an SSD) wouldn't hurt either.
