To ensure that you ALWAYS starts Chrome with --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install
flag you, can use (additional to editing all shortcuts in menu start etc.) this registry file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install -- \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install -- \"%1\""
Replace C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe
with actual path to chrome.exe
in your system.
