Well, I follow the instructions through ADB explicitly without root and I still can't seem to get it working. Has anyone tried this at all? Would be nice to force chrome to desktop mode permanently!

That solution is from 2012.. did you at least try the newer solution found further in the thread? - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-load-desktop-websites-t3771982

Yeah trust me I have tried this numerous times and it says unoperable programmer batch file in ADB debugging I don't get it for you. Maybe some of these pictures will help out. I would really love to get this working finally. Thank you for all the help.

Well, based on those images it looks as though you don't even have ADB installed or if you do, you're not working in the ADB folder/directory. You're going to have to start there..

Alright, that confirms ADB installed and your device is found. Now proceed with the rest and see what happens.

Oh yeah, I tried. That's when I get the other problems and issues.

I would much rather that Chrome be fixed so it doesn't freeze on my Samsung tablet it's happened over and over and over and over and over. The only reason I haven't left Chrome is because of all the passwords that I've got embedded in it and they will not let you import that stuff to another browser on Android.

Oh, I completely agree with you. The one major major reason I haven't left chrome all other than being a googler is because of all the autofill settings I have!
