How to relocate Chrome profile but also make new links open with the relocated profile?


I moved the chrome 'user data' directory and successfully launched the profile from here using the commandline switch --user-data-dir="E:\chrome", however, if i click a link it will open up a new instance of chrome, recreating a blank chrome profile and a new user data folder.


How can I fix that?



Answer



Create a symlink pointing the default location to the one you chose.


mklink /d "%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data" E:\chrome
