    I am unable to find any “Google Chrome Properties” window with the illustrated tabs. The closest I can get to something similar to what your graphics are portraying is: Google Chrome Options. In Google Chrome Options, the tabs are as follows: Basics, Personal Stuff, and Under the Hood.

    At any rate, I cannot find a “Shortcut” tab anywhere. Thus, I cannot make use of your advice on how to sync bookmarks in Google Chrome.

    I’m going now to find Google Chrome 4.0 (developer version). My earlier comment, complaining that I couldn’t follow your instructions because those setup options/tabs simply didn’t exist in my Chrome browser, is null and void…unless I also don’t find them in GC:4.0(dev/ver).
