I just checked my Google Chrome, and it runs in \google\chrome\application\chrome.exe, and also does so after I just updated to 51.0.2704.84 m (and I've got my fingers crossed that is actually up to date!)

So... Can I get Opera to behave the same way?

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the confusion.
My issue is that the executable opera.exe changes the folder it resides in.
I start it via the launcher.

But since you mentioned this being normal behavior, is there a way to change it, and have it not use the version numbers as folder names?
Like so that it would be \currentversion and \lastversion, and thus the locations wouldn't change after an update.

Thanks

I got these folders atm:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\37.0.2178.43

C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\37.0.2178.54

They are both ~132mb in size, so I assume upon a new version a completely new folder is created with all the contents.

The wasted space isn't an issue (I think it only keeps 1 old version anyhow?), but the opera.exe executable changing locations each time Opera gets updated is giving me a slight headache each time.

Is there any way to make Opera.exe always start from the same path?

Thanks for any replies
