Google Chrome ~ Remove Address on startup!

[Mortymoose]

Not a train smash, but irritating for a friend.

Everytime he fires up the old Google Chrome browser, it should read www.google.com.na but instead it gives the address of Google Chrome on his PC.... ie...... htttp////c:/user/documents.google........ or something to that effect......


Please assist when you have the time....

This is worth 5 Moosepoints!

Just a guess, but check the start-up page in settings. In the "on Startup" section there are some options for what you want to show when Chrome launches.

Did that, set it to www.google.com

It does got there on startup, it's just the irritating address bar does not say www.google.com , but rather a local address on the pc.....

Just reset Chrome to default setting?

Only other thing I can think of is to navigate to google (address bar shows google.co.za) and then going to settings and click use current page on startup. Otherwise try making the homepage https://www.google.co.za (saw they changed over to https).

Failing that, check that chrome is up to date, or I forfeit my moosepoints

Are they running Chrome from a short-cut on their task-bar? I had an annoying hijack once where everything was reset to original settings, yet every time I started Chrome it still went to this rogue website on start-up. I eventually found that the short-cut had been changed too. It was only the one on the task-bar. I removed it and added it again from the start menu and the problem disappeared...

Use Firefox instead, chrome uses too much resources which will over utilize your system, hope this helps
