Chrome crash, session not completely restored

I thought I had closed Chrome normally, but I just started it up and it said something in that yellow bar at the top (didn't read it, but I assume it was that it had crashed, it was that bar that appears when it crashes) and it offered me to restore the session, I clicked on restore and it only restored about half my tabs and one tab that hadn't been there for some reason (youtube's home page).

Is there any way I can fully restore my session. Its VERY VERY important.
 
I found these instructions on the internet:

go to %AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

rename "Current Session" to "Current Session.old"
rename "Current Tabs" to "Current Tabs.old"

Then rename

"Last session" to "Current Session" &
"Last Tabs" to "Current Tabs"

Restart Chrome and there you go !!
Click to expand...

But the thing is, I do this and I get the same partial session restored that was restored innitially, even though when I open that session file with notepad I can see that there are additional URLs listed there that the goshdarn thing doesn't open when I rename it into current session.

I can't copy paste these additiaonal URL's manually because there's too many of them.
 
Just go back through the history.

I have no idea why people keep these 'OMG CRITICAL' pages open in a single session. If things are that important you should device another scheme for retaining data.

It probably crashed before it could save it's state, or a portion became corrupted.
