It’s normal that any Browser or any program for that matter installs into the “Program Files” directory .If we missed any programs shortcut icon we can easily find them in the program files directory of that program.Google Chrome is something different as it operates from other location.
After installing Google Chrome have you ever observed where Google Chrome is installed ,you will thought in Program files no it’s not. Google Chrome resides in "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe",from that location Google starts working when you open any webpage. Why I have to Know where Google Chrome is Located? Because there is a case where you can not find Google Chrome shortcut on Desktop and in the start menu items either .Knowing the location of Google Chrome will help you to access Google Chrome.

Hi,
In Windows 8, Google Chrome is located at:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Thanks.
It can also be installed in program files and other places.
The best way to find out where your Chrome resides is to open this link in Chrome…
chrome://version
And look at Executable Path
Thank you PAEz, this worked, after at least 20 fails with other directions. Don’t know why the folder was so hidden. According to Windows Explorer, the location doesn’t exist. But when I simply cut and pasted it into the shortcut request screen, it worked. Thanks.
