Opera Default Setting

Can not find where to set Opera as my default Browser.

Either I am missing it, or you left it out. The browser does
not ask the question on start up, and so am left looking
for a tag somewhere. Help?

I have 11.60 browser but Opera always asks when I boot it if I want it to be the default browser. I always answer YES. I have checked all the settings in preferences and they are correct. I have tole IE it is NOT the default browser. Should I just tell Opera to not ask again or what?

If you click on an HTML/URL link in an eMail or document, which browser automatically opens? In Win7-64, try opening Control Panel > Default Programs and make sure Opera is set there as default.
Opera 12.14u (1738), 11.52 (1100) & 10.63 (3576) running on various Windows systems from Win7-64 down through KernelEx4-modified Win98FE (proof that reports of Win98's demise are greatly exaggerated).

When I checked in the list of default programs Opera was not present. So I just did a reinstall and that fixed it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Learning new things keeps my brain active!
