You do this in Chrome by clicking the menu icon in upper left hand corner, bookmarks, then bookmark manager, then export bookmarks to html.<br /><br />Exit Chrome<br /><br />Find your way to C:\Documents and Settings\[your name or "owner"\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data<br /><br />Change the name of the folder "default" to "default backup". (You could probably just delete it).<br /><br />Reopen Chrome. It will be like new. Import the bookmarks you saved. (Menu, bookmarks, bookmark manager, import html file}. Set your preferences.
