====== Chrome notes ======

<note tip>The Chrome configuration folder (settings, local mailboxes, address books, etc...) is stored by default //somewhere// in a hidden section of the user's Windows directory (''C:\Users\<your_login>'').

We don't know how to move this Chrome settings folder to another location (outside of ''C:\''...), but at least we know how to make a backup of some of the settings, and how to restore them (to the same, or another computer)</note>

====== Prerequisite ======

  * You **must** be able to see Windows' hidden folders in order to access the configuration directory
    * [[other:win7config#displaying_hidden_folders|Displaying hidden folders on Windows 7]]
    * [[other:win10config#displaying_hidden_folders|Displaying hidden folders on Windows 10]]

  * You **must** have started (**and exited**) Chrome at least once (in order to initialize the configuration files)

  * Make sure Chrome is not running when you backup/restore your settings!

====== Backing up the settings ======

  * Go the your (hidden) //Chrome// folder\\ ''C:\Users\<your_login>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\''
  * Copy the ''Default'' settings sub-folder to a backup disk

====== Restoring the settings ======

  * Go the your (hidden) //Chrome// folder\\ ''C:\Users\<your_login>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\'', after having started (and exited) Chrome at least once
  * Remove the existing ''Default'' settings sub-folder
  * Copy the ''Default'' folder that was copied in the previous section
