      Well, you know, that's the sense of a USB install:
      It's portable, located in one single folder and doesn't register itself anywhere in your system.

        Grin. No, that's me wanting everything on one drive and one dir tree. I guess I'm a holdover from DOS 3! I did a single dir install of Opera 12.17 and all its predecessors. Did that manually.

        Anyone have any ideas on even how to search for an answer, not getting any good results.

          Well, I had a thread on it:
          https://forums.opera.com/post/46424

          Essentially, you need to create a .reg file and add

          Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Infamous capabilities:

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Opera\Capabilities] "ApplicationDescription"="Opera, Internet Browser" "ApplicationIcon"="C:\App\Opera\opera.exe.exe,0" "ApplicationName"="Opera"

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Opera\Capabilities\FileAssociations] ".htm"="OperaURL" ".html"="OperaURL" ".shtml"="OperaURL" ".xht"="OperaURL" ".xhtml"="OperaURL"

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Opera\Capabilities\URLAssociations] "ftp"="OperaURL" "http"="OperaURL" "https"="OperaURL"

          ; Register to Default Programs

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications] "Opera"="Software\Opera\Capabilities"

          ; OperaURL HANDLER:

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\OperaURL] @="Opera Document" "FriendlyTypeName"="Opera Document"

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\OperaURL\shell]

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\OperaURL\shell\open]

          [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\OperaURL\shell\open\command] @=""C:\App\Opera\opera.exe""

          Replace C:\App\Opera\Opera.exe with where its actually located. Notepad has a replace function.

            Sorry, should have said I was on Win 8. That hack is for Win 7. Thanks though.

              Opera 24 shouldn't be run using opera.exe anyway, it should be launcher.exe.
              Have you tried the registry file on Windows 8? Even if it was originally designed for Windows 7 it may well still work.
              🙂

                So it doesn't work? Please clarify.

                  I used the reg file provided above and changed it to reflect my Opera installation and ran the reg file. When checking the registry afterwards none of my stuff is added.

                    Needs to be a part of it. The reg is invalid without it for some reason.

                        That sucks. I don't know why they even bothered changing it.
