In Windows click start - run

If Opera opens all is ok.
Otherwise open the run box again and paste this:

Click OK
Open notepad++
Click Run - Run..
Type: opera "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Just wanted to point out that you don't need to modify the registry. You can create a shortchut in your windows install folder for Opera instead to accomplish the same thing.

Just navigate to your Windows folder ( C:\Windows ), right click, click new shortcut and go through the normal steps. You should name the shortcut Opera if you want to launch it with that name.
Any shortcut or executable in your Windows folder will launch by their name. Works for any folder in your path environment variable but that's a bit adding locations to it is a bit more advanced than needed and can cause problems if a mistake is made.

Yaz,
This is NOT about creating a shortcut to Opera, but adding Opera to the RUN menu in notepad++

I know what it's about. Hence why I said you can do this instead of editing the registry and is much safer then messing with it and easier to undo & change in the future. You obviously need to then set it up in npp after.

Excelent... Thanks for the tip!
First step... I do it with a Command running as Administrator.

Another thing... ins second step you can modify the XML file to see Launch in Opera below the Launch in Safari.
The XML file is on:
C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
After the Line:
safari "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Put (Key 79 = O):
opera "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Thanks Again.
