First, if you already have a Google Chrome icon on your desktop, you can skip this step. Otherwise, click the Start menu or press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the menu. Locate the Chrome icon (it’s the round red, green, yellow, and blue icon) but don’t click it. Drag the Chrome icon to your desktop. This places a new icon called Google Chrome onto your desktop. If you can’t see the desktop, press Windows key + D, return to the menu, and then drag the icon. If you already had a Chrome icon on your desktop, this new shortcut will be called Google Chrome (2).
For example: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome. exe” -incognito You can restore your previous setting by removing -incognito from the Target text box and saving it.
If you open Chrome from your Windows Start menu or in any way other than double-clicking this new icon on your desktop, Chrome will not open in incognito mode. Remember to always double-click the icon that’s on your desktop to open the incognito version of Chrome. You can still switch to incognito mode from a standard Chrome window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N on the keyboard.
