Go to that folder using Windows Explorer or similar program and rename the folder's name. You can check the path in OMenu > About Opera.

My bad I'm sorry. I can't do it anyway but I am now in Explorer.

It's just not worth the effort or your time. A computer is a tool for me. I will either put up with it or switch, don't think about it any more.

And the answer to that is no it doesn't do it. Firefox picks up bookmarks in Explorer but not Opera. Since I am using Opera it doesn't pick up my bookmarks.

You are on Windows Explorer, right?

Hi, no, I am not, sarky one. I am on Opera. And it's not working. I have been on Opera four probably 10 years and it has never malfunctioned before.

Is there an expert administrator thread or do I just have to delete and re-install -- and if I do this will I lose all my bookmarks.

Perhaps i will shift to Firefox and then shift back -- firefox will pick up my Opera book marks and then when I re-install Opera it will pick up the firefox bookmarks.

That should so it?

I'm sorry, it doesn't offer rename. It's the "Search, search with, copy and print" on the right click

thank you -- you are being very patient with me.

I found the profile folder and opened it. I found the preferences file. I could not see how to re-name them.

Are you thinking that I will rename it and then have two copies, one the original and one my renamed copy which I can then check?

I found about Opera but not OMenu. I'm using 31.0.1889.174. Would there be any useful information on this page?

If I deleted and re-installed Opera might it be cured? and would I be able to retrieve my bookmarks or would they be lost?

thanks

Sally

how do I do that?

I found my preferences file which hasn't been accessed since August 17th 17.07pm presumably that's when the Opera update was unable to read it.

My preferences have not been accessed since August 17th at 7.17. Was this the A/B update? since then they have been inaccessible

The latest update doesn't solve them. For some reason it can't read my preference files and so I can't alter stuff for my preferences. When I try, stuff (like Speed Dial) gets altered back. I've been told that the A/B test build is the problem.

Is this a known problem and is it going to be resolved or is it just me? I've cleared my cache and cookies and downloaded the latest version. None of the obvious fixes work.

There's no reference to preferences in Help and (obviously) I've tried the "just click the x in the top right hand corner to customise your Speed Dial" and that doesn't work either.

think it must have been a mistake to send it to me. Is there some way to undo the A/B update?
