The best way to work out how to write the system wide files (or the  
operaprefs.ini within a custom directory) is to start Opera with a clean  
profile (e.g. opera -pd /tmp/opera_test_profile ). Make the one change you  
want to make. Shut down Opera and inspect it's operaprefs.ini (e.g.  
/tmp/opera_test_profile/operaprefs.ini ). Then you can copy the setting to  
your other files and check they are applied.
