# How to change the profile which links open in?

<h3><center>Pu239 - GX</center></h3>

Say you are on discord/any other app and someone sends you a link. You have created a new profile "dum" which you want everything to open in (i.e. when you click on the link it shouldn't in the default profile.)

Here's how you can do that:

1. Go to `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar`, there you should see all the shortcuts on your taskbar:
2. Right click on the "dum" profile's shortcut. You should see this:
In the `Target` box, you will see this string: `--side-profile-name=33blablablabla37`, Copy this whole thing (not just ID). You can close these windows now.
3. Now type `regedit` in the windows search bar, it should take you to `Registry Editor`. (click on "Allow app to make changes").
4. In the address bar here, paste: `Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera GXStable\shell\open\command`. Here you will see this
5. Double click on (Default) in the main area. You will get a popup like this:
After the path (`"C:\Users\......\Launcher.exe"`), add the string we copied (i.e. `--side-profile-name=33blablablabla37`).
6. Click on OK. And you are done. (You might need to close the browsers once, but that's all.)

### Enjoy opening links in your new profile.
