LiberKey Chrome makes profile in AppData

Hello,

At work we are required to use the LiberKey Chrome version. Since I've started using this software, I noticed some strange behavior. I have the shortcut pinned to my taskbar. When I click the shortcut two windows are opened. Each of those use a separate profile. The first uses the profile in the LiberKey folder: C:\path\to\liberkey\lkl\Apps\Chrome\Data\Profile, the other creates/uses the profile in AppData: C:\Users\<<my user>>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data.

Is there any way to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The reason is: you put Chrome your default browser or you are using chrome.exe instead of chromeLKL.exe

Consequence, you don't run Chrome using LiberkeyPortabilizer/launcher and don't keep portability.

You have to remove Chrome as your default brower and move profile to Liberkey\App\Chrome\Data

And of course, run chromeLKL.exe anytime

Thanks for your reply Dji,

After following your instructions, I got the shortcut to work properly. Does this mean I can't ever set Chrome as my default browser without having to run the LiberKey Tool to enable the file associations?

You have to use KeyFileAssoc fir this (KFA is run if you enable menu option "Enable File Associations"): You can setup http and/or html files to ChromeLKL.exe as default application. Doing this inside KFA is safe for portability, else not.
