Problems adding new bookmarks

If you receive a dialog box that says something like this:

Could not save hotlist file.

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\opera6.adr

Try again?
your bookmark file is probably write-protected. Please try this to solve your problem:

  1. Open a My Computer window, without closing Opera, and navigate to the bookmark file. The location of the bookmark file should appear in the dialog box with the error message.
  2. Right-click the file, and choose "Properties".
  3. Make sure that the "Read-only" check-box is not checked, and click "OK".
  4. Switch back to Opera, and click "Yes" in the dialog box.
