Please, help me regain my sanity.

Can someone write a step-by-step guide on how to set up multiple chrome profiles on a single Windows 7 machines, in a way that will allow me to pin multiple different chrome icons to my taskbar?

I know this is possible, I had this setup working on my two computers. Now, I managed to screw it up on one of them, and just can't get it to work.

This is how I want things to behave:

enter image description here

I have two completely separate profiles, with different icons. When I click on one of them, it opens, when I click on the other, it opens. No weird icon-changing tricks are happening. Whatever I try to recreate this setup on my other computer has failed, possibly due to bugs like this one. I now just can't use my desktop computer (shared with my wife) due to this problem.

Note that my working solution (on 2nd computer) doesn't use the newer profile system in Chrome, where a small icon is added to Chrome icon (lots of different icons to choose), but rather uses the different icons stored directly in chrome.exe.
