Where does Chrome save its bookmarks on Windows?

Question

I'm trying to recover a Windows system from backups and can't seem to find where Chrome saves its bookmarks.

Anybody knows where Chrome saves its bookmarks on Windows?

C:\Users\\{User Account}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

you can see a file that the name is "bookmarks"

	Note: The AppData folder is hidden by default. Either just type the name in the addressbar or set the explorer to show hidden folders. – Feroc Jan 9 at 12:33
	You don't need to change visibility of hidden files & folders to access AppData, open Run dialog using `Win+R` and enter `%AppData%` and go to the location, it will open `Roaming` directory by default, now press `Alt+Up Arrow` to go to its parent folder, and there you have the folders `Local`,`LocalLow` and `Roaming`, now can navigate to the Chrome's directory. – Kush Jan 16 at 8:15

On my PC (Windows Vista) i can find the bookmarks file (and also cache/history/etc.) in this location:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
