You didn't state which version of the Windows Server operating system is hosting Active Directory. Windows 2003 doesn't offer Preferences in GPOS, Windows 2008 R2 and above does, etc.

I have not seen that browser in any of my Fortune 500 clients in the past, so I am afraid that I don't have any insight on GPO tricks for it.

My recommendation would be to consolidate onto IE, Chrome and Firefox and allow Opera once they have an established ADMX file for use with AD.

I am sure your organization has an IT policy which states that IT must be able to control security settings on systems.
