This worked for me on Windows 7.

Go to the file given in the error message:

c\users\[username]\application data\local\google\chrome
  • right click the chrome file
  • share with-specific people
  • use drop down arrow in top box and choose your username ie give yourself permission to share the file.
  • add
  • confirm.

Message says its been done,

  • close.

Chrome then opens without having to open it as administrator after every boot-up.
