Opera's registration info is stored in OUsr600.dat file, which is usually located in c:\Program Files\[Opera folder]\.
Spent some time to search the info in Google, didn't find it and found out with file-monitoring tool while registering.

Hello DarXyde,

it is all said best by the author of IrfanView himself in the FAQ-section of his page [here].

There are some otherwise undocumented switches for a silent installation of the main program and the plugins that work well.

Guess that helps you out ...

Bye welcome.gif

Hello DarXyde,

what's the scope of registering IrfanView - it's freeware (for most purposes)? unsure.gif
DarXyde
Well... i like to work just with programs registered ... i never work with irfanview unregistered ... i think i will give up until i find a solution smile.gif .. 10x again.. good point of view newwink.gif
DarXyde
If anyone intersted... i have found where irfan view is keeping registration info ... smile.gif to simple to see it...

in main program folder usually "C:\Program Files\IrfanView" .. there is ini file "i_view32.ini" . you can find there your registration info... you can just copy this ini to your later irfan view folder keeping your settings and registration info... 10x for your help guys... and hope this topic will help other people like me ..

rolleyes.gif Besides, I've found a way to install Opera silently in a folder by your choise.
Well, maybe there's nothing special in it, but as I see, you install it in \Opera 8 beta, that is not very aesthetic, as for me no.gif

So, here's the way - create .reg file with the content like this:

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Opera Software]
"Last Directory3"="C:\\Program Files\\Opera"
"Create Startmenu icons"="1"
"Create Desktop icon"="1"
"Create Quicklaunch icon"="1"
"Last Beta Directory"="C:\\Program Files\\Opera"


The parameters are self-describing newwink.gif

I import this file before installing Opera and voila! It installs in \Opera folder, not that foolish \Opera 8 beta or \Opera7. whistling.gif

Good one Mancubus ... 10x again smile.gif
