Hi, everyone.
This is my 2nd question.

I need to change default homepage of chrome programmatically.
I tried followings from searching Google.
- add json code in preference file of local user directory
- add group policy to set homepage
- set registry of chrome(HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome)

And all of above things don't work for me and I am using chrome Version "38.0.2125.111 m"
Can anyone tell me what's wrong in latest chrome?
Or please advice me correct implementation tutorial for setting default homepage.

Thanks

Don't.
You will annoy the heck out of people, and gain little except the uninstallation (with extreme prejudice) of your application, as happens with all other software that in little ways makes the world worse for people.

There are enough websites and apps that change the homepage and search engine already: and they are generally regarded with distaste. If the user wants your site as his home page, he will set it. If you set it for him, he will probably regard you as a virus. I would.

I wonder if he the OP started with Chrome, and that's the last one.
Google has made it harder to do that.
