Download without asking, auto-run after download

Hello.

Is it possible to download files to the default directory without Opera asking for the location?

Also, can Opera automatically open files after download, like in Chrome? Just to be clear: not because of configured file associations, but because I choose to click on a particular download. For example, a download of an installer size of 500mb is in progress, and when it's done I want Opera to run this installer, otherwise I'll forget about it.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, the autorun function has been removed from Opera somewhere in version 8 or 9.

For instant download:
Preferences -> Advanced -> Downloads
Uncheck "Hide file types opened with Opera"
In QUICK FIND search for your filetype (EXE ?)
Edit the ACTIONsetting to Save To Disk and check DO NOT ASK...
