Did you restart Opera?

Yeah and it stays the same.

Does it need to be in a certain folder, have a certain extension or be a certain size?

It's these ones I'm trying to make work.

I do not seem to find this option in Opera 9.5. Any ideas? It would be useful for my attempt at turning Opera into a Site-Specific Browser. http://my.opera.com/jegHegy/blog/opera-as-site-specific-browser
