It is likely that the spaces before the command line arguments is confusing
the Chrome parser. Try removing them for every item in Args, and it may
work.
On a style note, I would use:
AppCommand:=
`C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe`
instead of:
AppCommand:=
"C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
