I have a strong assumption that Chrome is set to open any Chrome you had stored upon boot-up. Even, during a re-install of Chrome, you *probably* kept the old setting which re-assume in the new install -OR- each new install of Chrome has been noted and thus the x-Chrome browsers are present. Either way, I suggest you do a true total removal of Chrome, not just the plain install. I use "REVO uninstaller", google for it and get that installed. Once done, run it and use the advance mode after selecting the "un-install" of pgm. you want. That way, it finds all remenets of the pgm. and if so instructed, reboot after all is done. This is the easy way of de-installing any pgm., and is far more in depth than simple windows uninstall. If you have done multiple installs of Chrome, then you may have to do a another uninstall if that appears again on the taskbar. The only other possible link maybe you have some updating service that is all wrong and simply installs another Chrome. Chrome does have "automatic update" setting which can't be turned-OFF its suppose to update in the backgrd., but if hosed and under Win 8 maybe an entirely new headache. Try that and check results.

I am still having problems after answers from a previous post. So maybe someone here can help. I have a desk-top computer, all in one, Gateway One, Model # ZX6980, with Winsows 8, with 6 GB of ram. For some reason, each time I bootup I get 6 icons of Google Chrome on my taskbar. Can someone tell me how to stop this from happening? I have deleted Google Chrome twice and reinstalled it to no avail. Going to msconfig did not work. Thanks. ~Al
