Google Chrome always start in INCOGNITO Mode

If you would like google chrome web browser to open in Incognito Mode all of the time which will not save or track any of your internet activities, do the following:

1. Right-click on the Chrome shortcut
2. select properties
3.click into the "Target" box and arrow over to the end of the string.
4. add: -incognito
NOTE: be sure to put a space BEFORE the dash and place the -incognito AFTER the parentheses.
i.e.:
Target: "C:\Documents and Settings\NETWORK\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -incognito

obviously, all of the shortcut path info before the"chrome.exe" will be different then the above...just add the -incognito to the end.

Sometimes working on several computers at once and/or work computers, you dont want to worry about leaving behind login info and browsing history etc.
