Can I add command line parameters to always launch by default?

[Lars Kortsen]

I am running Chrome 21.0.1180.79 on XP SP3 and was having problems with Flash.  I rolled back Adobe Flash by installing 11.0.1.152 and disabling the built-in 11.3.31.227 to solve the problem.  I was getting an error that my plug-in was out of date but solved this by adding --allow-outdated-plugins to the desktop shortcut.  As long as I launch Chrome with this shortcut it works just the way I want.  But if I click on a link in an email (my POP3 client is Thunderbird) and it launches Chrome the command line parameter gets bypassed.  However, if I have already launched Chrome from the shortcut the link opens in a new tab in the running instance of Chrome and I am fine.

Is there a way to ALWAYS launch Chrome with the command line parameter I need?  I am guessing a registry edit for the default browser entry but if I ever change my default browser (IE has been known to do it without permission) will the changes to Chrome be lost?

If the flag happens to be featured in about:flags, then you can simply enable it there and that preference will persist through restarts (browser or operating system).

If not, then registry editing is probably the way to go.

And, yes, I am pretty sure that the changes will be lost if you change the default browser and then re-register Chrome as the default one.
