Here's a fix for the flaky file association of great Web browser Opera

Opera 8.5 beta2, the latest available version of the Pocket PC version of Opera, the fastest Web browser for the Pocket PC, has a small bug I've just fixed.

When you install Opera into the non-internal storage (a storage card, for example), it will still put file associations in the Registry that point to the internal storage. This will result in the inability to fire up Opera when you, for example, click a link in Messaging or any other link display-capable mailer client (see this roundup of these mailer applications if interested). You'll, then, see something like this (screenshot taken on a WM5 device):

Fortunately, this problem is very easy to fix. Download this registry import file and import it from, say, Resco Registry Editor. (See this roundup for more information on registry editors for the Pocket PC.)

Note that you'll need to change all occurrences of "Storage Card" in the file if your Pocket PC has more than one memory card slots. Then, it becomes either CF/SD Card or CF/SD-Card, depending on the actual model.
