Create Chrome shortcut that opens a specific user profile in Windows 10?

Question

I've seen tutorials on how to do this on other operating systems, but I can't for the life of me make it work on Windows 10.

Answer 1

I ran into this problem on my Win 10 PC.

The file path to the chrome.exe is different on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

So for mine the file path to the exe was:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Then add the switch:

-profile-directory="Profile 2"

Or whatever Profile you want to access.

So the final path for the shortcut should look like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -profile-directory="Profile 2"

Answer 2

You need to create a shortcut of Chrome executable and append the --profile-directory to it.
