How To Make A New Profile In Google Chrome For Windows

It may happen that the existing user profile may get damaged making the browsing experience undesirable.

Here is how to make a new Google Chrome user profile in Windows (7/Vista/8.x) :

Close all instances of Google Chrome. Then, open the “Run” box (Windows key + R) and type the following :

[cc lang=”bash”]

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\

[/cc]

[ For Windows XP, type the following in Run box:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\    ]

In this folder, locate the “Default” folder and rename it to something else (like “Backup default” or “Backup old” and so on).

Now open Google Chrome. This will automatically create a new “Default” folder with the new profile.

Happy browsing.
