Google Chrome Hotmail Problem Solution

UPDATE: The fix will cause inability to read mails.

I couldn’t let go of Google Chrome, so I checked bug reports and I found a temporary fix to the problem. For my future reference until Chrome devs fix the issue, here’s what needs to be done:

  1. Right Click on the Google Chrome shortcut (Desktop or whereever you place it).
  2. Left Click on Properties.
  3. On the Target box, add the following line at the end:
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.19"

Therefore, if you are running Chrome in Windows, your target should look like:

C:\path\to\chrome.exe --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.19"

Close all instances of Chrome and open the browser again using the shorcut prepared above.

    Nice temporary solution, but now I can’t acces my list of contacts when I am in the ‘send to’ field.

  2. Sad to say that this solution causes another problem to arise. Updated the entry. Sorry about that.

    I tried to enter that line but when I click OK it tells me that it is an invalid path, won’t let me change it.
    Do you know why?
