Robert,
I played with this stuff several months ago, and I found that you can put
stuff in the master_preferences file.
In my case, I created a file called: /opt/google/chrome/master_preferences
and put this:
{
"HomepageLocation" : "http://www.ltsp.org";,
"homepage_is_newtabpage" : false,
"browser" : {
"show_home_button" : true
},
"bookmark_bar" : {
"show_on_all_tabs" : true
},
"distribution" : {
"skip_first_run_ui" : true,
"show_welcome_page" : false,
"import_search_engine" : false,
"import_history" : false,
"create_all_shortcuts" : true,
"do_not_launch_chrome" : true,
"make_chrome_default" : true
},
"sync_promo" : {
"show_on_first_run_allowed" : false
}
}
The HomepageLocation is how I set everybody to load the same page when they
launch Chrome.
Also, I didn't want them needing to log in to chrome, so some of the other
entries handled that.
If you just search for 'chrome master_preferences', you'll find all kinds
of great information.
I like Matt's suggestion about naming the URL on the command line. You can
embed that into the menu item or shortcut they use for launching the
browser.
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
