<![CDATA[newbie help]]>New to Opera. Using v20. How do I change what it does with a certain kind of file, to download it or open it with a program? I see things in the http://www.opera.com/help/tutorials/personalize/ area that I can't find in my browser. "Settings" only has "Browser, Websites, Privacy & Security" I don't see "Preferences" "quick preferences" or "appearance" or other things referred to in the tutorials.

copy "bookmarks" file from chrome profile folder to opera profile folder... you can see where it is on O menu >> About Opera

Then when you have downloaded a file with Opera, it should be opened with that program.
Only way I can think of at least, might not work, but I'd give it a try.

The new (current) version of Opera is a completely different beast, which is 'based' on Chromium (a long distant cousin of google chrome).
