Did you make sure to install for all users when you installed opera? I'm sure you did... If so this brings up an interesting observation, because I installed Opera 9.1 in a hurry at my parents house last time I was there, and she's had problems with it since, something to the effect of another using having it open or something even if they don't....
Thanx for replying SNGX1275
I cant seem to find solutions anywhere and I really wanna use Opera on my limited account.
The only way I can use it if i create a shortcuts to the exe file in my program files.
Anyone using Opera on their Limited Account?
EDIT: I made it the default browser from my Administrator account, upon which Opera can be seen in my start menu of the Limited Account. However its still not showing up in All Programs.

simple solution:
All users will have the shortcut on their desktop
you might also drag-n-drop it into
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
login to ADMIN
open the Explorer
click thru to \Documents and Settings\All Users
right-click-and hold the icon on the ADMIN desktop, drag it to
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop and then release
select COPY
open the Explorer
click thru to \Documents and Settings\All Users
right-click-and hold the icon on the ADMIN desktop, drag it to
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop and then release
select COPY
All users will have the shortcut on their desktop
you might also drag-n-drop it into
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

Thanx Joe. Its done the trick. However I believe you`ve made few typeos in your instructions.
I dragged the ADMIN desktop and pasted it into All Users and pasted the Opera shortcut into \Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
All is well. Strange it had to happen this way though?

yes, that's the better location
>> ADMIN desktop and pasted it into All Users
but no, this is a TOTAL desktop duplication and an overkill. There may be some
shortcuts on the ADMIN that All Users should never have
