  1. Alternatively, to install the downloaded .crx, run the following style of command ::

    D:\Users\English\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –enable-extensions “f:\isk4M\Chrome\myip.crx”

    Chrome v3.0.195.1 then asks “Are you sure you want to install this extension ?”
    After confirming this, and also restarting Chrome I guess (using “chrome.exe –enable-extensions”), there’s the IP bottom left.

    (And when starting without the parameter, no IP seen.)

    Google not yet officially launched the extensions features and is valid only with “chrome.exe –enable-extensions” !
    If you want to run the extensions you must need to enable it via properties ! :P
