    I'm not sure what the app= one is, but yeah you can do as many flags as you want.
    You might have to put a separate -- at the end of the line though, not sure if that's optional or not for multiple flags.

    Unhappy The app flag

    When creating an "application" on a Web page, I noticed the only change in the shortcut is : "... \chrome.exe" --app=http://www.THESITE.com

    The "--app" switch makes an application.

    Now, I tryed adding a "-incognito" before, after... with two '-', one '-'... Not working.

    Waha, you say we can use multiple flags... How?

    Thanks,

    Pascal B.

    try to put quotes around "http://www.THESITE.com" and make sure you have a blank space after it before you write another switch. like this:
    Code:
    "... \chrome.exe" --app="http://www.THESITE.com" --incognito

    Or if this fails, you can try putting --incognito first:
    Code:
    "... \chrome.exe" --incognito --app=http://www.THESITE.com
    Or if you need the end of flags notifier thingy:
    Code:
    "... \chrome.exe" --incognito --app=http://www.THESITE.com --

    Wink Good!

    Thanks, it finally works ! It may have always worked...

    I was looking for the spy in the upper left corner of the window to be sure I was in incognito mode... But I noticed in APP mode, the only change between incognito and normal is the color of the upper bar : incognito is grey (no spy), normal is blue.

    Thanks again,

    Pascal B.
