2017.09.15 Skype has forced us to update again, and begun blocking prior versions of skype once more.
This forced me to give up my ghost-copy of skype i was installing from/to a RAM drive and running daily.

The invasiveness of microsoft products is Legendary, and im sure theres a webster dictionary definition some where with a pic Bill-Gates waving a d***o around.

Chrome Portable command line length limit

Submitted by kamtschatka on September 6, 2017 - 7:40am

I am trying to launch ChromePortable with a lot of command line arguments and after the recent addition of an argument I noticed, that this parameter is not used in chrome(i was using the ignore-certificate-errors switch).
A colleague of mine then played around and noticed that the amount of command line arguments is no problem if you run the chrome.exe that is bundled in ChromePortable.
He also tried to create a GoogleChromePortable.ini as suggested in another post in this forum, but it also did not work.

Well I can't post the log because it keeps bitching that it triggered the spam filter, which is kind of dumb for a support forum.

So why did this fail and how am I supposed to recover the installation that is now completely corrupt and broken?

How To: Make Google Chrome Portable the default app for all internet browser tasks on Windows 10.

(I Googled and found a fare few people wanting this with none of the methods working completly. So did a bit of research.)

Normally if you use Google Chrome Portable then make "Google Chrome" the default browser app via "Windows Settings" it opens the normal Chrome (the one in C:\Path\PortableApps.com\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\chrome.exe) and uses the profile in \Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome.

When you transfer chrome portable USB stick from one PC to another, if I open the settings a message appears:
"Some settings have been reset
Chrome has detected that some settings have been corrupted by another program and restored them to their default defaults "What does it mean?
