Chrome opens up my YouTube page each time it starts up ?!

This is driving me nuts and no amount of googling has helped me find out what the heck is causing it!  It just seemed to start happening for no reason.

Whenever I open Chrome, it opens up the page (google.com.au) I have in chrome://settings like it always has, but for the last week or so, whenever I open Google Chrome, it also opens up a second Tab which is my YouTube page.  I did not set it to do that!  I may have pressed some type of hotkey I'm not aware of that caused this, but don't remember doing so.

Anyone experienced this behaviour and know how to fix it, save resetting Chrome back to defaults or uninstalling/reinstalling it?

Anyone?

>>in the Startup section, do you have more than one page selected here?

Yep, you've nailed it EM.  That's what the problem was, though how the YouTube URL appeared there I have no idea because I definitely did not put it there!!  Must have hit a hotkey or something to make it appear there.

Now fixed. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the update and I was very happy to help you resolve this.
