(re-trying from the right account this time...)

Several others have mentioned master_preferences, so I'll just add a few
tips.

Like PhistucK mentioned, if you create a master_preferences file next to
chrome.exe (on Windows), and edit it to contain:

  {
    "homepage": "<your homepage setting here>"
  }

...the homepage will be preset to the page you specify.

Note that master_preferences acts as a template for Preferences for users
who start Chrome for the first time.  So if you've already got a Preferences
file, changing the "homepage" setting in master_preferences won't do
anything...you will need to delete the Preferences file first so it gets
recreated from master_preferences.

I should probably document some of this...
