<![CDATA[Steam opens HTTPS links to Chrome because Opera is not in "Set Default Programs"]]>Windows 7
Opera 16.13 USB install (ran with admin to see if it would register properly, but it didn't)

Examples of problem:

  1. http://imagebin.org/316614 (Opera is not registered here, for some reason)
  2. http://imagebin.org/316613 (from chromes page, I can't find any way to change this from the file manager either)

And changed it. Just replace \App\Opera\wherevere with \Program Files (x86)\Opera or similar.

You need to install it for all users.
