Any idea on where this "system configuration file" can be?

I've looked at the linux tar.gz file and couldn't manage to figure out which
file produces this "operaprefs.ini" file under ~/.opera directory.

There are such parts in share/opera/ui/dialog.ini file

[Auto Update Available Dialog]
....
[Auto Update Check Dialog]
....

etc. can these be related to what I'm looking for?

So any idea which file should I change to disable auto-update systemwide?

I've neither found anything on
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/sysadmin/ this article too :/
