STEP 1: CREATING A REGISTRY VALUE
 

1.1. Edit the profile and navigate to the “Additional Registry Values" section under the “Computer Settings.”

1.2. The first step is to enable the “Bookmarks bar” by adding the registry value below:
 

Enabled: YES
Registry Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry Key: SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
Value Name: BookmarkBarEnabled
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 1

1.3.  We must place the bookmarks per Google's article into two folders. This is the snippet from the format you need to use as a template.
 

[{"toplevel_name": "Imported Bookmarks"},{"name": "Links","children": [{"url": "http:/google.com/","name": "Google"},{"url": "http://Youtube.com","name": "Youtube"}]}]

1.4.  Create a new registry value for the bookmarks, and on the “Value Data” add your own value created from the template located in section 1.3.

Enabled: YES
Registry Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry Key: SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
Value Name: ManagedBookmarks
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: [{"toplevel_name": "Imported Bookmarks"},{"name": "Links","children": [{"url": "http:/google.com/","name": "Google"},{"url": "http://Youtube.com","name": "Youtube"}]}]
