Hello. This tracker is used to report bugs and file feature requests for Python itself, not request help (mailing list such as http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/ are appropriate venues to ask for for help). I’m changing your question to a bug report about missing documentation.

The intended method of using a non-default browser is well documented and the OP did exactly the right thing. However, even if Opera is present, the 'right thing' does not work because nothing but iexplorer gets registered (and that not completely usefully), even if present on the system, because the registration code is buggy, as discussed in #10799.
Hirch, if you had clicked Search and entered 'webbrowser' in the 'All text' box, you could have found that report.
If you add a note to #10799 as to the exact default location of Opera (within Program Files, I presume), it might eventually help.
