Google-chrome – Reset the open file window size in Google Chrome

google-chromewindow

How can I reset the open file window in Google Chrome back to it's default size?

My wife resized it when uploading photo's to a website and I would like to reset it

I have deleted the BagMRU & Bags registry keys, but they do not appear to affect Chrome

I have also deleted my user profile and started Chrome from scratch but that does not make any difference either

Thank you

No, Chrome isn’t a normal window, so ShellBags has no effect on it. Instead, Chrome handles its own window-positioning (well, normally, when it works; sometimes it gets stuck or reset/forgets).

First, close all Chrome windows (and make sure that there are no CHROME.EXE instances running in Task Manager). Open your Chrome profile (the User Data folder) and look for the Local State file. Open it in a text-editor and look for the window_placement section inside the browser section and delete that—this is a structured file, so make sure to get the quotes and braces correctly. (There are other window_placement sections for other things like the Options dialog, Task Manager, etc.) Finally, save and open Chrome; it should open at a “default” location, but should remember where you set it when you subsequently close it.
