How to revert Google Chrome context menu back to Windows style

Solution 1:

Go to shorcut properties and add --disable-new-menu-style flag (with a space) to Target field.
Now Chrome starts with old context menu. Unpin other Chrome shorcuts and pin again.

Solution 2:

This thread treats the problem :
How can I bring back the old menu style on Chrome 28 onwards, now that the --disable-new-menu-style switch has been removed?

It says that Google has made clear that they've made an arbitrary decision to do this and aren't interested in revisiting it.

The workaround for Chrome 28.0.1500.72 (Official Build 211400) is the following switch which activates a new style with much less vertical padding:

--force-fieldtrials="NewMenuStyle/Compact2/"

This unfortunately also has the effect of collapsing the row of extension icons.
