e.g. "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito


Step 3. The file path should then look like the one in the screenshot below. Click Apply and then OK to save your changes.


Step 4. From now on, when you start Chrome from the modified shortcut, the Chrome will open in incognito mode.

Note: If you want to stop the shortcut from launching in Incognito mode, just remove the 
‘--incognito’ command line from the Target field via Properties and save your changes.

Type 2: Using Registry

If you want to open Chrome in incognito mode, when opening a hyperlink (URL) from your e-mail or other program, then you have to modify the registry.  To do that:

Step 1. Open the Registry Editor
(Win+R >In the Run window, type REGEDIT, followed by Enter.)

Step 2. In registry, navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command

Step 3. At the right pane double click at the Default REG_SZ string value.



Step 4.  Add the switch add the word "incognito" (without quotes), before the "%1" and click OK.

e.g. Change the value data from:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" — "%1"


to:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" –incognito "%1"
