Running chrome as an alternate user while logged in with different credentials

I am sure I am missing something here. My Chrome runs under a Non Admin a/c so I can't install any extensions . I have an admin rights a/c and tried to run it using alternate credentials

 C:\Windows\system32>C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:IBMClunker\ladmin "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Chrome pulls up but wont do a think Just get a black slate background and nothing happens. Wont browse any place. So I copied everything the appdata/local/chrome/user data folder to the corresponding folder for Ladmin Still no luck. Has any one had luck getting this to work Am on W7.

Add the --no-sandbox switch to Chrome

runas /user:test /profile "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\A pplication\chrome.exe --no-sandbox"

! This will defeat the purpose of running Chrome with restricted account

You can also try to install Chrome for All users at install time.. install Chrome for the specific account you want to use first...

When using Windows 10 (and I think 7) you can hold down shift and right-click the application and choose "Run as different user" ... much simpler.
