Wild guess here but could you copy and paste your "Target" property of the shortcut you used ?

Make sure you paste it in CODE tags.

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Shropshire\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -enable-extensions --load-extension="c:\myextension"

AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Well there's your problem.
Unless there really is a purpose for this part, i suggest you replace your Target to :

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Shropshire\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-extensions --load-extension="c:\myextension"

You were also missing a " - " before -enable-extensions.
This should fix both your weird start page issue as well as your extensions not working.

Ah, that's what you get for copying code from a website

Glad i could help.

New problem.

"Could not load extension from 'c:\myextension'. Manifest is missing or invalid

Navigate to C:\myextension
What is in that folder ?

If you want to use an extension, it should be located in that folder.
There should be a file named " manifest.json " and probably some .js files and/or .css files.

When you use --load-extension= " .. " there needs to be an extension located in that directory.

The only file in there is Adsweep.crx

Ok, well that's not what you want to do.

--load-extension is meant to be used with a manifest and javascript files.
When you have a packaged extension file (.crx) you need to use --install-extension="c:\myextension\myextension.crx"

Simply replace --load-extension with --install-extension and give the full path to the .crx file.
