5. Remove the two semicolons, and then save the file. When the Rescue and Recovery program is closed

and reopened, a user is able to right-click a link and the Save Target As option is displayed. Then the
Save As window is displayed.

Note: Straight links (not redirected links) work with the preceding procedure. For example, if a link
targets a .php script, Opera saves the script only, but not the file to which the script points.

6. Put the file back by using the RRUTIL process described in “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

To specify a fixed download directory, do the following:

1. Get the C:\PREBOOT\OPERA\norm1.ini file by using the RRUTIL process described in “Using the

RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

2. Open the file for editing.
3. In the file, locate this line:

Download Directory=%OpShare%

4. Change %OpShare% to the full path of the directory to which you want downloaded files to be saved.
5. Save the norm1.ini file. When the Rescue and Recovery program is closed and reopened, Opera

saves downloaded files to the specified directory.

6. Put the file back by using the RRUTIL process described in “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

Notes:

1. Customizing the full path for downloading does not enable users to save the target file, even if the

link is redirected.

2. For the purposes of the Rescue and Recovery program, the number of recognized file types is limited. If

another file type needs to be transferred, create a .zip file, which can then be extracted.

3. File types are recognized by MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type rather than by file

extension. For example, if a .txt file is named with .euy as an extension, the file is still open in the
Opera browser as a text file.

Adding a specific file extension to the downloadable files list

You can add specific file extension to the list of files that can be downloaded through the Rescue and
Recovery browser. To add specific file extension to the list, complete the following procedure:

1. Make sure that Opera is closed and that all Opera windows are closed, including the Rescue and

Recovery help files.

2. Get the C:\PREBOOT\OPERA\norm1.ini file using the RRUTIL process described in “Using the

RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

3. Open the file for editing.
4. Locate the [File Types] section of the file.
5. Use the search function to find the desired file. Then do one of the following:

• If the extension is found, but files with that extension do not work correctly, complete the following

steps:
a. Change the value following the extension from 8 to 1. (A value of 8 tells the browser to ignore the

file. A value of 1 instructs the browser to save the file.) For example, change the following:

video/mgpeg=8,,,,mpeg,mpg,mpe,m2v,m1v,mpa,|

to

video/mgpeg=1,,,,mpeg,mpg,mpe,m2v,m1v,mpa,|

b. Scroll up to the [File Types Extension] section of the norm1.ini file, and then search for the mime

type of the file. For example, find the following: VIDEO/MPEG=,8

c. Change the ,8 value to the following:
