<![CDATA[[Solved]Opera tries to run on it's own]]>Opera always tries to run in the background.

There are a few other threads about stopping Opera from auto-updating, but that's while it's running. It's been suggested to change the Opera shortcut to ...\Opera\launcher.exe --disable-update
I did that, which is how I know Opera always tries to run in the background, since because I changed that (I assume), it runs fine when I try to use the shortcut but crashes when it tries to run itself, as shown below. Why does it try to run, and more importantly, how can I disable it (without getting the crash message all the time)?

That seems to have worked. I looked there before but didn't see anything because I was quickly going through everything and it takes a couple seconds for the list too appear.
