‘oy! Thanks for the tip! I had no idea I could do that!
Editing of standard_menu.ini file is not recommended because when you update, Opera will overwrite it.
See http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/show.dml/51487
You can remove all sections except first line, [Version], [Info] and [Browser Menu Bar] sections. Opera will pick missing sections from standard_menu.ini file.
Right! BTW you don’t have to delete unwanted submenu entry. Just type “;” before it.
Example:
[Browser Menu Bar]
Submenu, 148470, Browser File Menu
