Chrome/Chromium on Windows 7 (64bit)

Hey there, as most of you know Chrome doesn't work directly on windows 7 64bit.


There is however a fix out: And thats editing your shortcut to include: --in-process-plugins

The proble with this however is that when I want to open a link from my mail or any other im client of some sort. It will offcourse start it without that line.

My question is: Is there any workaround to make chrome start with --in-process-plugins in any given situation. Maybe someone can edit the source and rebuild it. Or I was thinking of copying the exe file and making the standard .exe file being some sort of shortcut to the copied one with the commandline.

Any ideas?

Same problem with Iron (actually allready tried this O_O). And I searched for the shortcut to exe thingie but really can't find it. :/

ohh sorry i mean search cmd to exe or bat to exe

Yes but the problem if this would be that the bat/cmd won't accept input before it's run making it useless because it would just start with a blank page :/

Not going with 32bit anyway :P

Source is about 500 mb big O_O

Update will not come untill W7 gets released (Google told it themselves they won't support W7)

Older versions not gonna work. Problem is probably jscript engine microsoft used.

It's the same thing that makes xfire bugged.

OK editing that didn't work. It actually had Firefox there. But I did some research on my own and I discovered that changing this worked but the first page loads a little slower but oh wel the rest works
