I want to copy my Opera settings to another PC. I've seen instructions to copy various files and folders in the "profile" folder. But in Windows XP I
have two Opera profile folders.  One is C:\Documents and

The Paths section of Help/About Opera shows which directories and files opera
is actually using.

Regards, Dave Hodgins


In opera6def.ini Multi User=1 and I see no path to Users (i.e., no place to change a path from C:\Users to D:\Users). However, Help/About shows that Opera is still using opera6.ini, cache4 and opcache on C:\, Other paths to D:\ are correct(see below).

Can paths for these be added to opera6def.ini so that Opera uses them on D:\Users? Otherwise, how else can Opera be correctly directed to use D:\ instead of C:\ for user profile data?

--- Paths from Opera About ---
Preferences C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\profile\opera6.ini
Saved session D:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\profile\sessions\autopera.win
Bookmarks D:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\profile\opera6.adr
Opera directory D:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\profile
Cache C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4
Help documents C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\profile\opcache
Mail directory D:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\mail
Plug-in path C:\Program Files\Opera\Program\Plugins
User CSS directory D:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\profile\styles\user

BTW, thanks for your help.
