it's a simple batch file for WinXP

Code:

cd "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application"
chrome.exe --pack-extension="C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\DefaultTheme"

it's rather crude but it works;

put the batch file into the folder of the theme created;

"C:\Documents and Settings\username" maybe replace by %userprofile%

You just saved me alot of hassle sulason, thanks.
Before when ever I wanted to tweak my theme I used the Load Unpacked Extension option, problem with that is I had to increase the version number in the manifest every time or the changes didnt take effect (what a hassle). But with some changes to that bat (and a little research) I no longer have to.

Load Theme.zip
Homepage of Process.exe http://www.beyondlogic.org/consultin...rocessutil.htm

Unzip Load theme.zip to the directory of the theme your working on, double click load.bat and all instances of chrome should close and then your theme will be reloaded.
This should work for anyone using XP thanks to the %USERPROFILE% variable. Even tho xp comes with a command line app to kill processes there was a few issues that made me use the above exe instead (such as it closes cleanly (not forced) and some commands where only available in the pro version of xp).
Dont forget to delete process.exe and load.bat before packing .

don't thank me, thank JK :-)

btw I use this command line to kill IE when it hangs;

Code:

%windir%\system32\taskkill.exe /f /im iexplore.exe

Why?....he didnt bother posting the tip

I saw mentioned on a few pages that taskkill didnt come with the home version of xp so I thought Id find something for both versions.

great tips.....please contribute to
