Opera Launcher is a launcher for Opera with additional options. It can

Download (size: 204 KB), unzip, place OperaLauncher.exe inside Opera installation directory (C:\Program Files\Opera\) and run it to launch Opera. You will see the following settings dialog when you run Opera Launcher first time.

Opera Launcher settings dialog

To restore previous version of bookmarks/notes, close Opera, move a version of opera6*.adr/notes*.adr from profile\backups directory to profile directory and rename it to opera6.adr/notes.adr.

A brief test of the Norwegian-born browserWhich browser are you looking most forward to in 2009?

Nice program, but I have a doubt: Why would one want to disable the crash dialog? (Just curious...)

And Opera Link already does bookmarks and notes, so it'll be more useful if you implemented a wand and cookies backup.

It will be useful when system shutdowns improperly or Opera crashes randomly.

yes but you can't use Opera Link to restore bookmarks to an earlier date. It is useful if you concerned about your privacy.

Already several programs are available to backup all settings. See Softwares to enhance Opera.

What does this option do - "Disable crash startup dialog."

Does it default to - restart session?

It will default to your preference in startup.

hey Tamili, congrats! it's such a nice app.
I just have one comment/request...
In command line, when you invoke the original 'opera.exe', you can pass an url as parameter so the browser will open that page by default.
e.g.
>opera.exe www.mypage.com
will open mypage

Now, when I try
>OperaLauncher www.mypage.com

My default page is opened. Is there a way to read that url parameter using the launcher?

Thanks bigsmile!!
