Help With Changing Defaults ?
DS
Recently downloaded Opera 10, looks good.
I would like to change a few things though. Is it possible to "open a new
window in an existing window"? By this I mean I only want one instance at a
time and no windows remaining open in the background. Also can I ensure that
the "tabs" section of Opera is disabled as I never use "tabs"?
Also when entering a url in the address bar, underneath a "search the web
for" message appears, is their anyway to disable this too ?
Thanks.

You can set Opera to open windows instead of tabs (see 'Tools >
Preferences > Advanced > Tabs') and set the Tab bar to 'only show when
needed' using the Appearance dialog. It will then only show when there are
multiple tabs. Depending on what you do, sometimes a new tab *will* be
created. For example, Tools > Manage bookmarks opens in a tab, not in a
dialog like other browsers.

Go to opera:config#UserPrefs|AutoDropdown , uncheck the option, and click
the Save button.
