Quick fix for Google Chrome Crashing in Windows

Over the last few days I have run into a few PCs people have given me to fix with Google Chrome installations that crash immediately upon opening.  By crashing I mean Chrome's way of crashing, where the tab shows a big blue page with a sad face that says "Aw snap."

If you delete the users folder in Chrome's directory (please back it up first), Chrome should start working again. Keep in mind that this will clear all of your settings, extensions, bookmarks, etc.  To delete this folder, enable the display of hidden files in windows explorer.
For XP: C:\Documents and settings\your user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data
Vista / Win7:  C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data.
Delete the user data folder and fire up Chrome again.

Side note: It seems that the crashing in this manner may be related to spyware/adware installing bad extensions in Chrome.  Both of the computers I experienced this problem with were laden with all sorts of crapware.

Things I Hate

Why does Dell think it's necessary to do this?  Why the hell would I ever need a power supply with a 180 degree AC connector on it?  This makes absolutely no sense to me. Every time I use one of these the cord ends up being to short because I have to bend the cord back over.  Dell, please stop making these lame pieces of crap.

Dear ATI,

I really like your GPU hardware, it kinda kicks ass, but the drivers are another story. Please make some linux drivers that don't suck completely.  I am sick of driver installs that break every time the kernel gets updated or I switch monitor configurations.  Soon, I will trade off my Radeon 6850 for an older nVidia part just because NV drivers actually work.  If you want me back as a customer, please put more effort into making linux drivers.

Sincerely,

Ben
