We have already covered Internet Explorer and Firefox and described, “How can we reset theirsettings to default without Re-installation?” Now its time to Google Chrome.
Both Internet Explorer and Firefox have direct or indirect ways to reset their settings. But in case ofGoogle Chrome, there is no direct or indirect method. Finally we have figured out the Google Chrome, how it manages all settings and First Run instance.
How To:
Google Chrome doesn’t store any Windows Registry, instead of creates a 0KB file called First Run at the root of installation directory. Chrome checks existence of this file, when it run.
If the First Run exists, Chrome bypasses the Run first time wizard and launch browsing window, Else follow the Run first time wizard to customize settings.
So we can restore first run by simply deleting this file, the file can be found at root of installationdirectory or default locations:
For Windows XP
C:\\Documents and Settings\\UserName\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Google\\Chrome\\Application
For WindowsVista or later
C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application
C:\\Documents and Settings\\UserName\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Google\\Chrome\\Application
For Windows
C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application

To Reset them, just delete all the fiiles and folders from User Data and the locations are:
