Comment #3 on issue 15146 by joe.jordan86: Shortcuts to Chrome breaking in XP http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15146
Hi, I can no longer re-create the issue, since I installed Chrome from the application pack instead to solve the problem. However, as I stated in the original bug report, I checked the path of the .lnk target first, which is how I found out that chrome.exe was not in Program Files. The target was fine and pointed to an existing exe (if the link was pointing to nowhere I would have lost both the icon on it, as windows refreshes these each reboot, and windows would have thrown an error saying "target does not exist" or something when I attempted to launch it). Neither of these symptoms happened; it was simply a problem with either chrome not launching when it received the message, or windows not sending the message. Thanks for continuing to investigate it, but I fear it may be "one of those bugs" that you rarely see and does not repeat regularly. :S... I have actually been able to set chrome as my default browser now (work fixed a web app I needed to use which had a web-kit compatibility bug, which had to be in the default browser as it was launched automatically from another app) so using the shortcut occurs much less frequently. also using the "launchy" keystroke launcher was a hit :).
