Google-chrome – How to update a Google Chrome “Speed Dial” thumb

google-chromespeed-dialthumbnails

"Speed Dial" is the New Tab page in Google Chrome, where it shows thumbnails, which are links the most visited sites.

One of the sites drastically changes its appearance and I want that the thumb to be updated. How can I do that?

Best Answer

Based on a thread in the Google Chrome Help Forums:

  1. Quit Google Chrome.

  2. Go to Start » Run and type:

    • Windows XP:
      %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\
    • Windows Vista:
      %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\

  3. Open Default folder and delete Top Sites and Top Sites-journal.

This will remove all the thumbnails, but Chrome will rebuild them.
