Need Help with UserScripts

[Limbero]

I downloaded this UserScript. It's available as an extension too and that works but I'd really like the whole UserScripts thing to work. I thought I installed it the right way and I've looked all over the web on how to do this.

1. I made a folder called User Scripts in C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

2. I put the GmailDefaultClient.user.js file in that folder.

3. I added --enable-user-scripts to the end of my chrome.exe shortcut.

I did this according to these instructions and ones posted in the thread of the Script.

Any help or criticism is welcome!

what version is your Chrome?

[Limbero]

Google Chrome 4.0.202.0

I am on the dev branch.

try changing the name of the js file to GmailDefaultClient.js

what is the property of the shortcut on your desktop?

[Limbero]

That didn't work.

What do you mean by property? (My windows is in swedish and it might be translated to something different than what crosses my mind). The shortcut is a .ink file.

The full target of the shortcut is as follows:
C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Applic ation\chrome.exe --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions --enable-sync

(note: there's no space in the word Application, I can't seem to fix that in the forum post though. :S)

try adding " to your shortcut;

"C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Appli c ation\chrome.exe" --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions --enable-sync

I've tried that but when I click OK/apply, the quotation marks disappear.

I am not running Vista, but I think there is a function where it says run as "Administrator"

Did you install Chromes as "Administrator" ?

[Limbero]

Yes I installed it as admin and running it as admin made no difference to my problem...

ok one last shot

delete the shortcut on the Desktop and recreate a new one with the quotation marks and the command lines

add the quotations marks and command lines to the shortcut in Start Menu
