Hi,
https://superuser.com/questions/377186/how-do-i-start-chrome-using-a-specified-user-profile
Replace Google chrome with the correct equivalent from Microsoft Edge
on Windows I can do this:
"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 3"
(this is on the Target of my Edge insider shortcut in properties)
--profile-directory="Profile 3"
The argument above tells Edge browser to load which folder from:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data
so if I create a different profile in Edge browser and name it "vskorpen", then Edge will create a new folder inside this folder
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data
and name it "vskorpen"
so in the target of the Edge shortcut, i will add this argument:
--profile-directory="vskorpen"
