  Hello!  I've searched the forums and read through the knowledge base and I just can't figure out how to have QAP open weblinks in Incognito Mode in Google Chrome.  So far I've figured 2 ways.
  
  1. Go into Regedit and force chrome to only open webpages in Incognito Mode.
  - This is annoying as you can't open chrome's settings, extensions, bookmark pages, etc.
  
  2. Make an AHK script to open web page in incognito mode.  Then have QAP launch the AHK Script
  - Folders will be filled with AHK scripts just to open webpages
  - Takes a while to continually make more scripts
  
  Is there an easier method that can be done in QAP that I'm not seeing?

  Whats the problem to add the command line switch --incognito
  to the web pages you want to read in incognito mode.

  Hi Horst! So where do I add this command line to?
  
  I was trying to find a way to add -incognito to the Add Favorite Link menu somewhere. I can't figure it out under advanced or basic settings.
  
  For Example, with AHK I write:
  
  Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -incognito "https://www.reddit.com"
  
  When I run this script it opens reddit in an incognito tab.
  
  I know Quick Access Popup is made with AHK, so there should be a way to add -incognito somewhere. I just don't know where or how.
  
  Oh, I didn't mention it in the OP, but I've also tried making a shortcut that defaults to opening chrome in incognito mode. However, when I add this shortcut to the launch with this application section, it defaults to the original chrome.

  Hi Dr Kakashi,

  You can add parameters under the "Advanced Settings" tab of your favorite. But this won't work in a "Link" favorite. I'll check this because this should work normally.
  
  For now, you can create an "Application" favorite with the path to your browser and the URL to open and parameter "-incognito" in the Advanced Parameters.
  
  For example:

  I checked in the source and adding the parameter to a "Link" favorite happens to be ignored because QAP is launching links with the Run command using your default browser (as you know AHK, the command looks like "Run, %url%"). In this case, the parameter added to the URL ("Run, %url% -incognito") is ignored.
  
  I could try to work around this but I will need to retrieve the path to the system's default browser. I'll search for this.

  Oh cool! Thank you for the reply and detailed steps. That's awesome that it looks like I've found something useful that should be included in "Link" favorites. If you figure out how to add it to the source code, could you add in a checkbox that gives you the option to "open in incognito mode?" Then it would be a breeze and user friendly for us Chrome Users! lol

  For now, I want to allow any parameter in a Link favorite to be supported (regardless of your default browser). To make an easy "Incognito" option in Links favorites, I would need to know what is the command line parameter for each browser. I know for Chrome ("-incognito"). If anybody knows for the other browsers, please let me know?

  Chrome: 
  -incognito
  
  Edge:
  -private

  Firefox:
  -private
