otherwise / after -> that launches the default opera launcher.exe. checks if the partner content file exists in the current version folder and renames it / backs it up if it exists. checks the file version of the default launcher.exe - which is updated with every opera version (see above). sets two variables for the program path of opera / where the launcher.exe resides (check / copy that by right clicking your Opera desktop icon -> properties). Now every time you start Opera by this icon (independent of updates) - that default partner content file will get renamed (so your personal settings will be used) before Opera is started.įor those you are interested / experiencing issues due to other installation location: Optional: Change the icon for the shortcut on the desktop by right click -> Properties -> Change icon -> OK -> browse to your Opera installation (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera ) and select Opera.exe -> select icon of choice -> Apply. Recommended: Right click that "OperaLauncher.BAT" -> send to -> Desktop (create shortcut) Rename the file to "OperaLauncher.BAT" - or what ever you want but make sure it is now.

Problem with that is that with every update that file will get loaded again, into a new version folder. Since Opera added their partner content sites to override my search engines and did not leave us a possibility to change the shortcuts I was close to quit with Opera.Ī possible solution is to delete the "%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Opera/%Version%/resources/default_partner_content.json" where the Opera forced search engines are stored, and then get back to opera://settings/searchEngines to set your own ones (after deleting that file the originally user set ones will work again anyway). I had search shortcuts "d" set for "m" to "y" for youtube "e" for ebay and so on and so on.
