There was a version of Chrome I downloaded a while ago which created a shortcut icon on the desktop of a multiple profile. This feature has since then disappeared and I have yet to find a way to create a desktop short cut but I know it is possible through command line switches in the shortcut icon.
- JustinGarrison 14y agoThere was a comment left that pointed out the --profile-directory="[PROFILE]" flag. I will have to try this along with changing the icon to see if that works for the multiple profiles.
- JustinGarrison 14y agoI just tried this. It broke chrome and I needed to create a new "User Data" directory. Maybe it'll work in a future version.
- webwanderings 14y agoThanks. I have a need for only two profiles and I have gotten used to of launching the primary profile and then secondary through it. I always close the secondary first and primary second so I guess I am okay without the icon for now. There are compromises here and there between Firefox and Chrome. I am actually surprised to see that IE10 hasn't caught up with multiple profiles and/or even a sync. The best IE10 can do is give you private browsing (which you can potentially use to have a second profile, but it is not that convenient like Chrome).
