Could you explain things a little more here so that someone can understand it better. I , myself, got confused!

I was refering your page to this forum post(http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=175093) and before that I never tried it!

Say , like the post, I want to remove histories of "find in page" search. I only have these entries in opera6.ini file. Now which one to remove?
File_types_treeview=""rar", "pdf""
Input_treeview=""bar""
Bookmarks View=""vl""

Thanks in advanced!
