If you’re a frequent user of Google Chrome and you value your privacy, you might want to consider using the Chrome Incognito mode. This mode allows you to browse the internet without leaving any traces behind, such as cookies, browsing history, or cache files.

While it’s usually easy to access the Chrome Incognito mode, there’s an even easier way to do it by setting up a Chrome Incognito context menu shortcut. This will allow you to open a new Chrome Incognito window with just a right-click on your desktop or taskbar.

Here’s how you can set up a Chrome Incognito context menu shortcut in Windows 11:

Step 1: Create a new shortcut

The first step is to create a new shortcut on your desktop. To do this, right-click on your desktop and select “New” from the context menu. Then, select “Shortcut” from the list.

Step 2: Add the command

In the “Type the location of the item” field, enter the following command:

chrome.exe -incognito

Make sure to include the space before the “-incognito” option. Then, click “Next.”

Step 3: Name the shortcut

In the next window, enter a name for your shortcut. For example, “Open Chrome Incognito.” Then, click “Finish.”

Step 4: Pin the shortcut to the taskbar

Now, you can see your new shortcut on your desktop. Right-click on it and select “Pin to taskbar” to add it to your taskbar for even quicker access.

Step 5: Add the shortcut to the context menu

To add the shortcut to the context menu, you’ll need to edit the Windows Registry. This can be a bit tricky, so make sure to follow these steps carefully.

– Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

– Type “regedit” and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

– Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell.

– Right-click on “shell” and select “New” > “Key.”

– Enter a name for the new key, such as “Open Chrome Incognito.”

– Right-click on the new key and select “New” > “Key” again.

– Enter a name for the subkey, such as “command.”

– Double-click on the “(Default)” value in the right-hand pane.

– Enter the path to your Chrome Incognito shortcut in the “Value data” field. For example, “C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Desktop\Open Chrome Incognito.lnk” (without the quotation marks).

– Click “OK.”

That’s it! Now, when you right-click on your desktop or taskbar, you should see the “Open Chrome Incognito” shortcut in the context menu. Clicking on it will open a new Chrome Incognito window, ready for your private browsing needs.
