How to Add More Speed Dials in Opera?



As you all know about the new feature "Speed Dial" in Opera browser. By default you can set 9 speed dials in Opera.

But after following this small and easy tutorial, you'll be able to increase the number of speed dials in Opera:

1. Open Opera and goto "Help -> About Opera". It'll open a page showing version information as well as other useful information about Opera. Check the "Paths" section and copy the path of "Opera directory":

2. Close Opera and paste the path in RUN dialog box or Explorer addressbar and press Enter. It'll open the Opera profile directory.

3. You'll see a file "speeddial.ini" in the folder. Open the file in Notepad and add following lines at last of the file:

[Size]
Rows=4
Columns=5

In the above code, 4 and 5 are just examples. You can replace them with your desired numbers.

4. Save the file and open Opera. Now you'll be able to see more speed dials in Opera.

PS: If you can't see "speeddial.ini" file in Opera profile directory, then make sure you have set at least one speed dial in Opera.
