How do I make Opera my default browser?

Windows: how do I make Opera the default browser?

  • How do I make the Opera web browser the default browser (Microsoft Windows)? Preferably from within the browser itself. E.g. such that this will open in Opera when in a BAT file or from the command line (cmd.exe): start http://superuser.com/users/517/peter-mortensen

  • Answer:

    Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Programs -> check "Check if Opera is default browser on startup" Then restart Opera, and select "Yes" in the dialog box that comes. Alternative is Windows Control Panel -> Default programs -> Set your default programs -> Opera Web Browser -> Set this program as default.
