Do you and your brother have different user profiles on the operating system (I'm assuming Windows)?
If so, internet shortcuts should open in Opera 12.17 for your brother, and Opera 21.xx for you.
If you share the same profile, that's more difficult, as only one browser can be the default for a user.
Still in mourning for Opera 12.........

Install it in a different folder for him, backup then move his data (Speed Dial, history, etc).
Do not rename opera.exe, because the launcher.exe (the actual shortcut you should use to run Opera) will fail to find it.

That won't fix the problem of links in e-mails for instance always opening in Opera 21 when the OP's brother presumably wants them to open in Opera 12.17, if indeed that is the problem!
They will still need to have different Windows profiles to do that.

Open "installation_status.xml" on a text editor and check "<path subfolder="24.0.1543.0"" to see if it's pointing to the correct build folder.
Note that the profile folder will be the same for an Opera branch no matter the folder in which Opera is installed.
