How to change Default Google Chrome Directory


Right Click on your Google Chrome Icon and select Properties and then click the Shortcut tab.
In the target field, at the end of "…chrome.exe" add  "–user-data-dir=" .
After this it looks some thing like
target="C:\Program Files\Google\Google Chrome\Chrome.exe" –user-data-dir="C:\Chrome\"

That Changes your Google Chrome profile to your new path. If you want to have the old profile in the new location then copy your old profile found at Windows Xp Users:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\default Windows Vista Users:C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\default

to the new directory. Remember that you have to copy all the contents of  "default" folder to the new profile directory but not the "default" directory itself.
