Sounds like you might have copied Chrome to someplace other than your
Apps folder. In Spotlight, one you locate Google Chrome, use
command-option-enter which will open the containing folder so you can
figure out where it's at. Copy it from there to the Applications folder
(command-option-A to get there) and remove the one in an odd location.
Maybe that will clear things up as the system assumes applications are
in the applications folder. Maybe that's why setting Chrome as your
default is failing.

Yes. Precisely right. And, in order to start Google Chrome, I have to search
for it via Spotlight; I can't find it in Applications, and I can't figure out
how to put it on the dock.

So in Chrome preferences, under Basics, at the very bottom is the Default Browser setting which
should have a button which says "Make Google Chrome my default browser". After that
should be some text that says "The default browser is current Google Chrome" if you have
this set. Does yours say it is set correctly? If so, what are you doing that you expect a web
browser to come up? Are you actioning a link in an email? When you do that Safari is coming up
instead?

Yes. I went into Preferences and set it as default browser, but it is not
showing up when I want a browser -- Safari is, and when I want it, I must seek
it via Spotlight.

It's actually called Google Chrome so if you are alphabetical you'll need to go
in the Gs area to find it. That said, your subject seems to say you can't get
Chrome to be your default browser. Is that still the case?

Hello, everyone. I tried to say it all in the subject line. I downloaded Chrome, set it
as my default browser, but have to search for it in Spotlight in order to open it. When I
do, it says "applications" -- but I can't find it in applications, which I
suspect is the problem. What procedure should I use to put it in applications?
