Forgot to mention: "Application Data" normally is an invisible folder.

Still can not locate such a directory.

Also, my previous point is still valid: "such spoofing would only be
done if the site does not handle Opera correctly: a site which does
handle Opera correctly would not be spoofed via ua.ini, therefore the
userAgent for that site will certainly contain 'Opera', and a browser
sniffer will reliably identify the browser."

It looks from my system that the "profile" directory is created as a
subdirectory of where Opera was installed. On my Windows 98 machine,
I chose to install Opera in the "E:\Opera" directory. "ua.ini" is at
"E:\Opera\profile\ua.ini".

You have Opera open now? Type "opera:about" into the address bar.

Your "Preferences", "Saved windows", and "Bookmarks" should all be
pointing to folders within your profile directory.

I have a similar profile directory ... but no ua.ini.

On WinXP, I installed Opera in P:\....\Opera, but the profile
directory, including the ua.ini, is still on the C: drive.
