chrome files in win 7 roaming profile instead of local profile

[Wes James]

Is there a way to tell chrome to store it's files in
c:\Users\username\appdata\Roaming\Google instead of
c:\Users\username\appdata\Local\Google. This past semester students
have gotten 4Gig+ profile sizes because some of them have to do GIS
projects and some of the data can be quite large. If the chrome data
were stored in Roaming it would go directly to the server share via
redirected folders and not have to be copied back and forth to the
server (when logging in and out) when in the Local profile.

thx,

You can start Chrome with --user-data-dir="%AppData%\Chrome-Profile" (for example).

Note that if you want to keep the previous data, you have to move the files from there - but it does not guarantee that everything will work as it should (extensions are specified with absolute paths within the Preferences file, for example, or at least they were).

I believe you can create a script that fixes those errors, but I am not sure.
