I suspect that now the only way to do that is to edit a .ini
file.

opera6.ini contains:
...
[User Agent]
Spoof UserAgent ID=1
...

So I guess setting that to 5 would Mask as IE by default.

Site-specific preferences, are site specific. If you aren't
at a 
site, you can't very well set your preferences for it, can
you?

However, that doesn't mean you can't change the default
setting 
for that. There are a couple of ways you can do that. One is
to 
add a button for selecting it to a toolbar. (Right-click on
the 
toolbar, select "customize", go to the buttons
tab, then to 
preferences and drag the appropriate button to the toolbar.)
Or 
you can change it at opera:config. That setting is in the
User 
Agent section. ("Opera:config" is typed in the
same way you'd 
type a web site address.)

Ooo, yes, ta, I always forget opera:config - much easier
that edits to  
opera6.ini!

I forgot the customise button too  ... but does that alter
the default or  
the site setting?

I would expect that it would alter the default if I put on
the main bar or  
the personal bar but that it would alter the site
preferences if I put it  
on the address bar (which is tab specific) but I may just be
expecting too  
much
