When I leave a Chrome window open and shutdown Windows, when starting it again, the window reopens (with all the tabs). How can I disable this?  PS: I would also like to disable that Chrome opens up every tab again after I close the window. So when closing the window and opening it again that no tabs are open. Because I already select that Chrome should open ONLY chrome://apps on StartUp  PPS: Maybe the reopening of the whole window has something to do with Windows settings also?    Note: This is not a duplicate as suggested above, since the problem also occurs when I just reopen Chrome without restarting Windows...

Occasionally, a forced restart is happening on my Windows 10 computer. When the OS is restarted every program that I've had prior to the restart is reopened at startup. The programs are reopened like I would just double-click them.  I usually hold 5-6 windows of Visual Studio and few more programs all together. When the above happens, I have to wait several minutes until I can start working, as everything takes ages to load.  Is there a setting to disable these programs from automatically opening at startup?

I have multiple Safari windows for tab organization. I usually have multiple tabs in each window.  When I click on a link from an app other than Safari, it opens the link in a new tab in Safari, as Safari is my default browser.   The problem is that it often opens in a Safari window that is currently minimized or that I am currently not using. So it doesn't open the link in my main, active, current window (basically the one I have used last). Instead, it chooses its own "default window" to open links in, which may be a window I'm not even using.   However, I would like these links to always open in the window that I used last, and not in a window that I'm not using. Is it possible to make links always open in the last active window you used, or at least set the "default" window which will open new links?  I am currently running macOS Sierra 10.12.1, with the default Safari version that comes with it.

Usually I need much pages to be open at one time. So there is a Windows task panel. When I open multiple Google Chrome windows by Ctrl+N they appear in some order at the Windows task panel. Also in each windows I can create multiple tabs with pages (Ctrl+T).  I would like to create certain order of Google chrome Windows in the task panel. Say first is window with multiple tabs of my email accounts (gmail, yahoo mail etc). Second is window with tabs of google drive pages (different spreadsheets and docs files pages).  But sometime (I don't know why and how) the order changes itsef. Say window with emails tabs goes down... And then to create initial order I need to close all the windows and reopen them.  Could you please help with following: 1. Why order changes? 2. How can I change the order without closing and reopening all the windows? 3. If I create set of startup pages in the Google Chrome settings all of them open in the separate tabs but within one window. May I create a setting to open them in certain order of windows on each startup of Google Chrome?

I was running NotePad and Chrome when my computer suddenly shuts down.  After reboot, chrome was able to "restore" itself such that I didn't lose any data.  However, how do we "restore" notepad.exe?

How can I set Google Chrome as the default browser? If I set it in the browser settings, nothing happens. The browser says it's default, but in preferred applications in Gnome, there's only Firefox to choose from. Clicking any link i.e in Thunderbird opens a blank Firefox window, not with the link embedded. Can I set the  default browser in dconf2 or any configuration file?

Possible Duplicate:          I'm not sure what the proper term for the window outline is (chrome, I think?), but it keeps disappearing.    As you can see, theres no File->Exit or buttons that allow me to minimize or close this dialog. So instead it stays on top of everything else (unless I 'Switch To' another window). There is also no Processes tab or anything.  Since you cant right click the toolbar or bring up another instance of Task Manager, the only way to actually kill this dialog seems to be restarting. However the next time I bring up Task Manager, it will still refuse to go away.  Anyone know whats going on? I'm running 32-bit Vista SP1.

I am working on a web application that is using redirects (for pretty URLs).  I am trying to debug logic in the way the redirects are working. However Google Chrome keeps remembering the redirects and even after I change the code, redirecting the same way.  This is making it very hard to troubleshoot.  For example if I redirect /this to /that, then change my code to NOT redirect /this anymore. Google Chrome is still redirecting to /that. Like the redirect is cached or something. Is there a way to turn this off?

I'm using Google Chrome version 21.0.1180.89 m (on Windows 7).  The problem is that I installed an anti-virus program that accidentally changed the home page (I didn't uncheck the option). Now every time I open a new tab, it goes to the web search of the anti-virus package.  My question is, how can I restore it to the thumbnails with most visited and a tab with apps and all the other stuff?

I am currently looking at the "unload" event of a window to try to determine how the "unload" event was triggered, but am having little success. Is there a way to determine how the javascript event was triggered?   Page Refresh Back Button (or navigate away from the page) Closing the Browser   Essentially I need to execute some code only when the browser window is being closed, not refreshed or navigated away from.  Purpose: When a customer does an update of our software, the update will redirect their first Internet request to an offer page. There is a button for a "Do Not Bother" option, but some users will simply close their browser. Upon closing the browser, I need to duplicate the "Do Not Bother" functionality so the user no longer gets redirected to the offer page. Simply attaching to the "unload" event will not work due to the different ways of leaving a page.

I'm an ex Opera user so, simply because of how I am used to certain behaviors, I wanna create them in chrome. For instance: All new tabs should open at the end of all tabs, not next to the current. There is an extension for that, so its all working fine. Now, in Opera it was like, when you close any tab the focus goes to the tab that you last used/looked at before this one. In Chrome it just shows you the one in front of that tab, order wise. Is there any way to change that ?  Example situation: Browsing News page, opening 4 new news items in new tabs, looking at one, closing it, it should bring me back to the news list that I looked at before that. But currently it would just bring me to any of those other items, which ever is in row.

Chrome always quit when I click on the X button on a tab, without asking me anything!  Even when I close Chrome he do not alert me if I am willing to relay close it?   Many times it happened that accidentally I clicked on X button.

In chrome, most of the time, when i middle click on a link (text or image), it opens a new tab and the current tab does not change. This is the expected behaviour.  However, some websites have links (i'd say 5%) that also switches the current tab to the new one. For example: on this , the name of the players in the main list have the problem.  By looking at the source, i didn't find anything anormal (the link is a standard html tag). But if i disable javascript, i have not the problem. I looked at the source, and didn't find the problematic script... Note also that if i open the tab with right click > open link in new tab, there is no problem.  I'd like to know if you find the reason of the problem and how i can fix it. I am running chrome 10.0.648.204 on windows 7 x64.  EDIT: the website above does not exhibit the behavior anymore, but I sill have the problem sometimes on other sites (which I don't remember)

I am using Google Chrome. I re-installed it today as it was crashing when I start it. I guess may be that this was due to any of my Extensions or Google Update. I disabled my extensions but it was still crashing. Now I installed an old version of chrome from . However, Chrome automaticallyuppdates itself (although Windows asks me before installing and I don't grant it permissions, its still annoying to get Google update asking me permission after a couple of minutes.   I saw the question at  however, it doesn't seem to hlp me. i disabled the service and I stopped it as well, but the problem still persists. I also tried to look into the registry according to the following link:  but the "Policies" section of my registry doesn't contain any folder called "Google". I use Windows 7 - 64 bit Home Premium Service pack 1.  Could anybody help? Thanks a ton!
