I need to do a clean reinstall of Opera while being able to bring my 100+ SD back in, rather than having to recreate it. How is that done? Thanks,

Use Sync or backup the 'bookmarks' file found in Opera's profile folder.

@leocg Sync does not backup the Speed Dial screen. Found that out the hardway.

leo, in the Profile folder for Opera, what is the bookmarks folder name? I have nothing that refers to bookmarks. (WIN 7).

@browzer1 How do you get to or enable widevine? I can't play Amazon videos.

@browzer1 Widevine has nothing to do with bookmarks or speed dial.

@browzer1 it's a file like I said.

Reinstalling the whole profile defeats the purpose of a clean program reinstall.

The problem I had, which led to this post, is that either copying the backed up bookmarks file back in, or the one exported before the clean install, didn't do anything. There's more to it and I haven't quite figured it out yet (was a whole lot easier with Presta).

@ici-o Yes, it does backup Speed Dial.

@genegold Did you look at 'other speed dials' ?

@leocg - other speed dials? What's that?

@genegold It's where you find Speed Dials from other Opera's installations when using Sync or when copying the bookmarks file.
