Disable "Always allow ____ to open links of this type in app" checkbox in Chrome

There are several posts about people wanting to do the opposite of what I'm trying to do (like this one Disable Chrome to ask for confirmation to open external application everytime) but I accidently chose the checkbox to always allow a program I use ever day and I actually prefer to have the prompt. How do I get the prompt back?

Here's a screeshot of what I'm trying to "uncheck" so to speak https://i.stack.imgur.com/daIGY.png

I found this article from 2017 https://lifehacker.com/reset-chrome-to-stop-automatically-opening-apps-1820404423 but these files don't seem to exist anymore and I followed these settings (https://support.google.com/chrome/forum/AAAAP1KN0B0_FSBtFo5g_8) but I don't seem to have any handlers.

Does anyone know how to do this?


Solution 1:

That life hacker page is outdated, but it does give a pretty good clue. The properties file has appeared to move over time.

On my Windows 10 system running Chrome 100.0.4896.60 64-bit I found the file in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences

I also found it on a Chrome Portable installation - under the root Chrome portable install directory look for Data\profile\Default\Preferences
