A. - Copy the exisiting shortcut you have for Google Chrome - rename it to "Google Chrome Incognito" - right click it, select "Properties" - in "target" you should see something like: "C:\Documents and Settings\reduct101\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Applic ation\chrome.exe" - add "--incognito" to the end, e.g. "C:\Documents and Settings\reduct101\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Applic ation\chrome.exe" --incognito - click OK, and you're done - double click and Chrome should start in incognito mode.
