Opera "View source" problem

In Opera 9.5 onwards I cannot view the source code in TP. It works OK if I set Notepad to view source, but who wants to do that! I get the following 4 alerts thrown up by TP:

OK to create "

an unnamed file contains an invalid path

C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera 9.51\profile\cache4\cached_filename (no extension in later versions of Opera)

C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera 9.51\profile\cache4\cached_filename contains an invalid path

If I click OK or Yes to all alerts then 3 blank windows are opened in TP - Documents, Documents1 and Documents2 The latter two are unsaved, the first appears to be saved as C:\Documents -there's summat funny going on here!

I am having to still use an earlier version of Opera for checking pages, which still used extensions in cached filenames.

Any one know how to get round this problem?

I'm using TP5.4.7.3 which I prefer to 5.2 and Opera 9.63 on WinXP Pro. I'd prefer not to use TP5.2 if it can be avoided (I forget what the reason was but it was due to some change between the versuions that I was not keen on)

Opera up until 9.27 had no problem at all in sending the source code to TP and the path was not a problem. e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Application Data\Opera\Opera9\profile\cache4\opr0XYV9.htm

Since then Opera caches pages with no extension, so the path is now C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Application Data\Opera\Opera9.51\profile\cache4\opr0XYV9 - I wonder if the "." in the path is what causes the problem?

Edit @ 07:17:
Changed Opera ini files and registry to get rid of the dot in the path - no difference. I think the problem is that there is no extension on the cached filenames - is there a way to get TP to accept them without extensions I wonder?
