Drag and drop websites to desktop
I used to do this all the time in Firefox, in which you could drag and drop any of the following; the content of the website; the bookmark link; the address bar; the logo next to the address bar; the tab, etc. In Opera, none of these actually work, it just takes the tab into its own new window so I have to copy the address into Firefox and then drag and drop from there. Is there anyway to drag and drop websites (i.e. the link to a website) onto my desktop from Opera?Clicking on and dragging the address in the address bar lets you put that on the desktop.
For a link on a page click on it and move your pointer up the way before dragging to the desktop.

When I drag and drop from the address bar to the desktop in Windows 7, it creates an *.url file which seems to be permanently attached to Internet Explorer.
Trying to change the association to Opera through "Default Programs" does not work. Is this because I have Opera installed on my D partition?
Edit: Even though the interface for default programs STILL shows Internet Explorer as the default program, the .url opens in Opera. So I guess it works after a fashion.

Yes that's what I meant, sorry for not being too clear there.
