Configuring the Opera browser

The Opera browser has two configuration files: the default configuration file and the active configuration file.
Users can make changes to the active configuration file, but will lose changes made when the Rescue and
Recovery program is restarted.

To make permanent changes to the browser, edit the copies of both the opera6.ini and the norm1.ini files that
are on the %systemdrive% (C:) in the following folder path: C:\PREBOOT\OPERA\PROFILE. The temporary,
active copy of opera6.ini is on the ramdrive (Z:) in the Z:\PREBOOT\OPERA\PROFILE directory.

Notes:

1. To get, edit, and place the opera6.ini and norm1.ini files, see “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

2. The Opera workspace has been modified to provide enhanced security. Some browser functions

have been deleted.

Opera will not save settings after it is closed

If you are using the Rescue and Recovery program under the Microsoft Vista operating system and want to
have the Opera browser remember its preferences during the current boot to the PreDesktop Area, modify the
opera.exe file. Specify the full path to the settings file on the fifth line of the \preboot\opera\opera_web.cmd
file from

start opera.exe /Settings opera_default.ini %1

to

start opera.exe /Settings %tvtdrive%\preboot\opera\opera_default.ini %1

Note: If you reboot the system, your changed preferences will be lost even with this change.

E-mail

The Rescue and Recovery program provides support for sending Web-based e-mails through Opera. Opera
provides an IMAP-based e-mail program that can be enabled through the large enterprise configuration, but
by default, this program is not supported by the Opera browser in the Predesktop Area. To get the reference
information on how to enable the program, see the System Administrator's Handbook at:
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/sysadmin/

Disabling the address bar

To disable the address bar in Opera, do the following:

1. Get the file MINIMAL_TOOLBAR(1).INI from C:\PREBOOT\OPERA\PROFILE\TOOLBAR by using the

RRUTIL process described in “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

2. Open the file for editing.
3. Locate the [Document Toolbar] section of the file.
4. Locate the "Address0" entry.
5. Place a semicolon (; functioning as a comment delimiter) in front of the "Address0" entry.

Note: Stopping here and continuing with step disables the Opera toolbar, but leaves the nonfunctional
Go button and toolbar. To remove the Go button and the toolbar, continue with step .

6. Locate the following entries and then place a semicolon in front of each:

Button1, 21197=Go Zoom2

7. Save the file.
8. Put the file by using the RRUTIL process as described in “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

The address bar is disabled when Opera runs.
