Open New Opera Browser Window When Clicking Shortcut

Question

I have Opera 39 installed on Windows 7.

When I click the icon on my taskbar (which points at launcher.exe with no arguments) a new tab in an existing Opera window.

I would like a new window to open instead.

Is there any way to tell it to do this?

Answer 1

Found it. Right click on the shortcut icon, select properties, go to the "Shortcut" tab, and add --new-window at the very end of the line, so it looks something like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --new-window
