How do I change my "most visited page" url links in google chrome?

I had a bit of trouble finding out how to do this, so to be nice, here it is for the rest of the internet:

0. Close Chrome.

1. You'll need to open and edit the "Preferences" file with a text editor, like notepad.  On my machine the file is located here (note that AppData is a hidden directory, so you'll need to get around that): Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Users > Kieron > AppData > Local > Google > Chrome > User Data > Default

2. Find the section "pinned_urls" (mine looks something like this):


      "pinned_urls": {
         "http://calendar.google.com/": 2,
         "http://voice.google.com/": 5,
         "http://www.rememberthemilk.com/": 1,
         "https://mail.google.com/": 0 },


3. Change the link from whatever you see to whatever you want, and save the file!
