Manila 2.5 Browser Tab, adding link to file on device - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Trying to add a quick link on the browser tab of Manila 2.5 for Opera 10 beta:
My link is to an .htm file on my device, in My Documents. The link I manually entered into the address reads:
file://localhost/My%20Document/...
...but when I click on it, Opera opens and give me an error, but in the address bar, the link now reads file//localhost/My%20Document/... (without the colon after file)
I tap on the address textbox, add a colon in after 'file' and select 'GO', and it works. What can I do to make this link properly open for my from my Manila Tab?
Thanks.

Try this...
HERE is a link to a page on how to set links on TP2's Internet tab. Worked for me!

Thanks, but I don't think this is my problem. This link tells me how to set up new LINKS on the browser tab. My Browser tab lets me do this customization fine, it's just that it doesn't properly open the link for an address that is located in my file system.

Quickmenu 2.7 Favourites. (From Where?)

Evening folks,
Within Quickmenu there is a favourites folder. Where are these as I have a load of empty fo.ders I need to get rid.
Many thanks!!
Wayne
Go into Quickmenu, option, menu items, uncheck what you don't need. Hope it helps.
Guys,
Anyone help please?
On the new Quickmenu, I have a few Opera bookmarks listed that open Opera and work and then I have a list of Favorites from the Windows\Favorites folder that when clicked, just open Opera with the URL as the file location and a blank web page!
HELP please.
Thanks!
Wayne

[MOD] RSS Hub and choice of browsers

Context
I have read many posts in XDA forums all about making Opera the default browser just for the sake of a more satisfying experience of RSS Hub.
However, making Opera the default browser has some drawbacks:
- download speed of websites: some may prefer Opera Mini for its speed;
- compatibility with other applications: some may require Internet Explorer being default (e.g. Weather Watcher, UpToDate, etc.).
Consequently, XDA-Devs forum member shlomki created a Mortscript-based tweak, which allows to choose among the various browsers (Opera Mini, IE) when clicking e.g. in RSS Hub the "Read on-line" link. Alternatively, it allows you to copy the link to the clipboard. Check here below for the download link (Opera Mini Tweaks zip archive):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2282502&postcount=1
Ok, what's my addition to this ? I have extended the script by adding Opera Mobile as an option and I have made the menu more touch friendly for the Blackstone.
Install procedure
1) Download and install shlomki's tweak "WM6 Opera Mini As Default Browser - With selection dialog" (see link here above) ;
2) Download the revised mscr script (zip archive attached here below) and copy it using Total Commander into the \Windows\ folder.
Regarding the locations of the apps, the script currently supposes that:
- Opera Mobile and IE are installed in the folder \Windows\ ;
- Opera Mini and Jbed are installed in the folder \program files\opera mini\.
Naturally, these folders can be easily changed, i.e. before copying the script into Windows, simply modify the relevent paths with a text editor.
Requirements
- Mortscript.
FAQ
1) Why does Opera Mini only open the app and not directly the URL ?
Answer: The URL has been copied to the clipboard as well. All you need to do is click on the address bar, Insert symbol, then paste the URL - the last step is best done with the paste functionality of FingerKeyboard 2.1. If someone knows an easier way to do this or to paste a URL in Opera Mini without the use of FK, please share your tips here.
2) I want IE back as default browser. What can I do ?
Answer: If you who have difficulties to make IE your default browser again, check out the tweak in the following link:
