Programmatically access the Google Chrome Home or Start page

Question

Where does Chrome save the Home or Start page URL? I want to access it programmatically using C#.

Answer 1

On Windows 7 (and I guess Vista) with a default install it's stored in the file:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\User Data\Default\Preferences

On Windows 2003 (and XP):

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences

The property name to look for is: homepage.
