Is it possible to manually re-position/re-arrange the list of "Most Visited" Web Sites visible whenever you open a new tab in Google Chrome?
Here's a screenshot:
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium.
Answer
The file describing the pinned urls is here:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences
This is a json file and can be edited with any text/programming editor eg jEdit, notepad ie it does not need a SQLite browser. It has a section in it that typically looks like this:
"ntp": {
"pinned_urls": {
"http://www.advfn.com/": 0,
"http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/": 1,
"http://www.amazon.co.uk/": 2
},
So to change it, all you need to do is close all Chrome windows, then edit this section to change the URL, or the number attached (which is the display order) to what you want. Make sure you don't change the syntax - commas, colons, quotes etc as above! Start Chrome up again and it should reflect your updated preferences. Sometimes it takes a while to find a thumbnail - be patient, it always sorts itself out eventually.
