      Not sure if this is opera specific or chromium, but right now when I click a link and it opens in a new tab/window, it defaults to the generic opera profile that's installed by default. I want it to default to a specific profile I've created - is there any way to make this happen?

        @errow Not possible as far as I know. At least not without messing with Windows Registry.

          I'm quite in need of this feature. Why is it that we are allowed to login from a custom account, but are unable to set it as default?

          Yes, we can create shortcuts; but also, yes, it's quite bothersome that we open up links on the default profile rather on the one we need and use.

            See this post (a subpost of it mentioning a zip file actually) for a rough draft of a reg file and directions on how to set the GX profile you want as the default browser.
