Usage

This is where you can make changes regarding the usage of Opera.

Under Autocomplete for web addresses you can specify that addresses will be automatically completed in

the address bar, i.e. Internet addresses appear automatically in the address bar after you have entered the

first few letters of the address. If, for example, you enter just one word only, then top-level domain suffixes

like ".net" and ".com" are added to the end and the prefix "www." to the beginning. Disabling this function

can speed up Opera a little.

Under Show source code you can specify whether, when selecting Show source code the internal editor of

Opera should be used in the website context menu or another program, e.g. Windows editor (notepad.exe).

Performance

You can turn on fast navigation again here, which is set to automatic mode by default in Opera 9 onwards.

By selecting Automatic mode, you can specify that the web server setting should be taken into account

when you navigate through the browser history, which informs the browser whether a site can be loaded

from the cache using "Back" or "Forward" or whether the website should be downloaded anew each time.

The latter is necessary for certain shop pages to function correctly. However the server often demands that

the page be downloaded again from the web server when it is not necessary.

By selecting Compatibility mode you can specify that, regardless of how the server is set, the sites are never

downloaded from the browser cache when you navigate through the browser history, but are always down-

loaded anew from the website. This setting is generally not required and is not recommended for fast sur-

fing.

By selecting Fast mode, you can specify that the websites already on your computer are always loaded from

the cache. This not only has the advantage that the back and forward functions are suddenly very fast

again, but also that a lower data volume needs to be downloaded over the Internet connection. Fur-

thermore, entries you have made into form fields are generally retained during navigation in a browser. For

websites to function correctly with active site contents, it may however be necessary to manually refresh the

websites regularly (e.g. using F5).

Here you can set which search engine Opera should use in general and for speed dial and how the speed

dial should be displayed.

Under Default search engine you can specify which search engine Opera uses. This is automatically

selected in the search field, in the address bar, when "Search" is selected in the context menu of selected

text and when entering several words in the address bar.

Under Speed dial default search engine you can change the search engine that is displayed by default in

the speed dial page in a new empty tab.

E-Mail and Chat

Outlook Express

Windows XP:

You can change the font here which is displayed in the application title bar. You can also decide whether

the application should show a splash screen when starting up.

Here you can also configure the security function that blocks executable e-mail attachments. If you do not

wish to block these attachments, you can disable this function. But please note that such attachments may

also contain malware such as viruses that are run when you click them.
