Solution To "Google Chrome" Homepage Issues

[LoneKiller]

I'm not sure if any of you use "Google Chrome" or not. But I was having a difficult time trying to have my desired homepage appear. Whenever I would restart my computer, it would open up the desired homepage. However, if I was on another site like "YouTube" for example, when I would click my homepage icon it would always return to the "New Tab" screen. I tried adjusting the settings for the homepage display, but no luck.

I "Googled" the problem and found this. May it help all Chrome users who don't know about this fix. It's a "Redirect".

Since I hate Google (other than maps) and I don't use a homepage in the browser, I won't have an answer to what is happening. But it seems pretty strange for Google to have something as basic as a homepage setting that goes to other places. But then it is Google.

I use Opera and when I run into odd things I just go to their forums and ask or check to see if anyone else has asked. I'm sure Google has their own forums for their browser.

Hi blackdot.
They had me type "msconfig" into the start menu search and make sure the normal option was checked. I did so, but nothing worked. One said that you must log in as administrator in order for that to work. They were also talking about computer functions that I never heard of. I finally came across the extension suggestion, so I went with it.

weird. I don't see how msconfig would have any connection to a homepage in a browser.
maybe I gave the Google users too much credit.
