To change location of the cache, per example on a Ramdisk, I find that on the Internet:
“C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –disk-cache-dir=”Z:”
It works!

I need only to change cache folder without personal data like extensions etc. It moves all user data, so when you use RAM DISK you will loose you data every time you restart computer.

You should give a full example of how the line should look so people know hwo it should look so it works... like: "D:\Documents and Settings\Stone\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --user-data-dir="C:\temp"" - Should there be a space, or not? I tried both, Windows gives me an error every time. Hey there, it didn’t work for me.
