WinBolo links from Opera Browser

Aug 20, 2003 14:31 WinBolo links from Opera Browser
I doubt any of you use the Opera browser on a regular basis. If you do, you've probably noticed that Opera can't handle winbolo:// links by default. But with a little help from google I was able to fix this problem. Please visit the link pasted at the bottom of the post or follow the instructions given below.

1) Copy this post into a notepad file
2) Exit the Opera browser
3) Find the appropriate opera6.ini file on your computer
4) Under "[User Prefs]", add the following line..
TrustedExternalURLProtocols=protocol
..where protocol is the protocol in question. In our case, it's "winbolo"
5) Line should look like this:
TrustedExternalURLProtocols=winbolo
6) Save and exit the .ini file
7) Open Opera browser to WBN
8) Find a winbolo:// link
9) Click link to open WinBolo

Note: Opera will also open an empty new page every time you click on a winbolo:// link.

Nice work Sticky, opera roxs!

I found the correct opera6.ini file in my profile directory. You can find yours from the Help - About Opera page under Preferences.

Opera is a web browser, like Internet Explorer or Netscape.

You have to try it out in order to form your own opinion of whether or not it's better than IE or Netscape/Mozilla.
