Default Chrome Profile

If you've got multiple Chrome profiles, when a random app needs to open a URL in a new tab, it'll pick whatever Chrome is focused, or seemingly randomly pick a profile.

You can define the specific profile to use by default by editing the shell open command.

1. Open regedit
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command and edit the default string value
3. Add the email associated with the profile you want using the --profile-email argument, something like:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-email="chris@acme.com" --single-argument %1

Turn off Windows 11 menu hiding


reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
