Opera Launcher
Opera Launcher is a launcher for Opera with additional options. It can
- disable crash startup dialog.
- delete quick find search histories automatically.
- empty Temporary Download Directory automatically (not Cache Directory).
- create daily backup of bookmarks, notes & sessions with date stamp. Bookmarks & notes backups will be created in profile\backups directory.
Download (size: 204 KB), unzip, place OperaLauncher.exe inside Opera installation directory (C:\Program Files\Opera\) and run it to launch Opera. You will see the following settings dialog when you run Opera Launcher first time.

And Opera Link already does bookmarks and notes, so it'll be more useful if you implemented a wand and cookies backup.

I just have one comment/request...
In command line, when you invoke the original 'opera.exe', you can pass an url as parameter so the browser will open that page by default.
e.g.
>opera.exe www.mypage.com
will open mypage
Now, when I try
>OperaLauncher www.mypage.com
My default page is opened. Is there a way to read that url parameter using the launcher?
Thanks
