Nested Windows 7 Chrome Bookmarks symbolic link problem

[Uncle Bill]

I have Windows 7 installed on drive C: which is an SSD.

To decrease "wear" I've symbolic linked the Windows User folder to partition B: on my HDD.

B: is small and that is all it is used for.

This has been working fine.

I use Norton Ghost to image C: & B:

When I restore an earlier Ghost image of C:, I naturally also restore the B: counterpart.

 

My issuse:

   Unless I remember to grab a copy of my Chrome Bookmarks, I loose recent changes since B: is restored.

   To avoid this, I thought I would set a file symbolic link to another HDD partition D: where I store my data.

   

My Problem:

   Chrome loads and appears to work fine.  

   Bookmark changes are reflected in the interface (additions and deletions).

   When I Exit Chrome and the Restart Chrome, my changes are gone....no longer in interface nor Bookmarks file.

   It appears that the nested symbolic link is the issue.

   I've tried a symbolic link using the C: path and the B: path.

   Behavior is the same.

   

Anyone think they have a solution?  Or an alternative idea?

Thanks in advance.

Why not just let Chrome sync like it should? All you do is login to your Google account and it's all there
