    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.
