I've changed the location of my Chrome user profile folder, and created a shortcut that opens Chrome with that profile. But how do I get Windows to open Chrome with this profile? At the moment, for example, a HTML file will open using the original profile location.

To be clearer, I have appended –user-data-dir=”d:\new chrome user directory location" to the target of my shortcut. But when Chrome is opened any other way than via the shortcut, for instance launching a web page file saved to my computer, Windows opens Chrome with the old profile. How can that be fixed?
