I have been trying to enable extensions, but every time i think i have done it, it says extensions not enabled.

I definitely have the dev version of chrome.

My current attempt to make it work reads: "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-extensions

Whats wrong with that?
Cheers

the shortcut looks fine; there is a space between
chrome.exe"<space>--enable-extensions

try creating a new shortcut

is your dev Chrome the latest version?

I think I once observed that the link won't work if the shortcut is placed on desktop... Try going into the Chrome directory and right click and make shortcut and add the parametres.. test.. and if work, then add to startmenu or where you want it..
