You can set the default home page and other default settings for the first time a user launches chrome by using a master preferences file that gets copied to the chrome install directory.

Looking at the sample provided there and for the specific settings you mentioned, you probably want to at least use the homepage entry to set a homepage and under "distribution", set "show_welcome_page" : false
You can also control chrome through group policy settings or the registry. I have a script setup that imports registry keys to suppress the login page.
These are the settings I push that control the startup page:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome] "RestoreOnStartup"=dword:00000004 "HomepageIsNewTabPage"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\RestoreOnStartupURLs] "1"="http://www.dickinson.edu/"
Note that in order to suppress the welcome page and have Chrome go to a specific homepage you have to set RestoreOnStartup to 4 and then set a homepage in the RestoreOnStartupURLs key.
