  2. Repeat the above for the new Opera.
  3. Rename/delete new Opera profile & mail directories.
  4. Copy old Opera profile & mail directories to new Opera profile & mail directories location.
  5. In new Opera, modify paths in following files.
    • profile\opera6.ini (rename/delete is recommended)

If you use widgets, you also have to edit all paths in the widgets.dat
If you use newsgroups, you have to edit incomingX.txt (where X is the account number of your news account) and fix the paths to *newsrc files.

if you wish to use copy version of opera, install if "for all users" so all files will be in Opera fodler and then you can just copy paste the installation with every settings.. but remember to copy Opera into the same folder you first installed it (default Program Files).. also every new installation made into this folder will keep these settings
