Creating and Using Profiles for chrome or avast
Instructions: Windows
To create a profile
- Create a folder on your computer, say C:\chrome-dev-profile. This folder will hold the data for the new profile.
- Make a copy of the Google Chrome shortcut on your desktop. (Right-click, then Copy.) Name the new shortcut something like Chrome Development.
- Right-click the Chrome Development shortcut, choose Properties, and paste
--user-data-dir=C:\\chrome-dev-profile
at the end of the Target field. The result might look like this:"C:\Documents and Settings\me\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir=C:\chrome-dev-profile
- Start Google Chrome by double-clicking the Chrome Development shortcut. This creates the profile data.
To use the profile
Just start Google Chrome by double-clicking the Chrome Development shortcut. Yep, it's that easy.
To clear the profile
You might want to clear the profile if you're testing, and you want to start from scratch. Here's how:
- Close Google Chrome.
- Delete the contents of your profile folder — the folder you specified with
--user-data-dir
(for example, C:\chrome-dev-profile).
chrome://profile-internals/
C:\Users\kailash\AppData\Local\AVAST Software\Browser\User Data\Default
--user-data-dir=C:\Users\kailash\Documents\bum
if you have signed in copy C:\Users\kailash\AppData\Local\AVAST Software\Browser\User Data\Profile 1
after starting the web browser once copy the content inside Default folder
