Ctrl+Shift+N: Start incognito session in a new window in Google Chrome
(Since we had yesterday off for Labor Day, two posts today!)
One new concept in Chrome is the idea of an incognito session, where the history and cookies are not preserved. This could be useful if, for example, you’re at a friend’s house or an Internet café, or if you don’t want your spouse to see that you’ve been shopping for a surprise birthday present. Or other things.
To start a new incognito session in Chrome, just press Ctrl+Shift+N. A new window appears, with slightly different coloring and a “secretive browser person” icon at the top.
(To close the incognito session, just press Alt+F4 as you normally would to close a program. All tabs in your new window close at once.)

Q: It would be great to have a way to start chrome in incognito mode, perhaps with a desktop icon. Anyone know of a way? Perhaps there’s a command line flag?

Agreed — unfortunately, this looks like the complete list of command line options (http://www.ericdlarson.com/misc/chrome_command_line_flags.html) and there’s nothing to start it in incognito mode. Hopefully next build!

i agree, it’s very irritating to have to open chrome first then click to change to incognito mode

Are you guys kidding me? It takes about two seconds and is no hassle at all.

Ctrl Shift N is a keyboard shortcut for making a new folder on any place in Windows: either i a partition root, in on a folder as a sub folder or on the PC’s desktop as well.
