The only thing I can think of which probably isn't the case would be if Opera's registry data wasn't in the default location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Opera Software
.......Yup, the Opera registry data is in the default location.
Do you need a batch file to clean out Opera? If so I've got one.
.......thanx Andavari. PM on it's way!
...........for Andavari eyes only............Thanx for ALL of your help, patience & guidance. I ("Opera 8 Cleaner.bat") I learned a bunch today. Much appreciated.
