Hi Mike, You can "right click" and "save link as" from the Install button, it will save the file to disk. Once it is saved, use your favorite Zip extracting utility, or just rename .crx to .zip (I use 7zip), to extract the contents. You can then take a look at all the code for the extension.
If you already have it installed, you can visit chrome://extensions/ tab and get its "extension id" should be in the form of "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" a big long string. You can then check your User Directories "C:\Users\*[YOUR_LOGIN_NAME]*\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions" for the ID. The source is inside there. -Mohamed Mansour On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 3:51 PM, Mike Mitchell <mjmit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry, I'm sort of new to this but how do you get at the .crx file?
