Hi,
Is there any configuration or modification that I can make to open always Google Chrome portable in incognito mode when I open it from the launcher or the PortableApps Platform?
I want to add some privacy featuring in my Chrome experience since it boot up.
Thanks!

Copy the file Other\Source\GoogleChromePortable.ini from that location to the app root directory beside GoogleChromePortable.exe (X:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\GoogleChromePortable.ini)
Copying that file into root directory, browser stills opened in normal mode by default.
The only thing that I see, is creating a shortcut from GoogleChromePortable.exe and adding the flag "-incognito" to start it in that mode.
It could be nicer if it can have an alternative launcher like GoogleChromePortableIncognito.exe to start it in that mode directly.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
What Gord Caswell was actually correct, it just wasn't the whole answer.
The PortableApps Launcher actually has a way to add command line parameters (flags, like you call them) to the app that is launched. It's located in the GoogleChromePortable.ini file.
Change the
AdditionalParameterskey in that .ini file to whatever command line parameters you want to add and it'll work. In this case: AdditionalParameters=-incognito.This should work, as I tried it right now.
Edit: Maybe it was the whole answer back then, I don't know how the ini file looked a year ago, sorry Gord. This brings me to my second point:
@guijarrelson, you just resurrected a nearly 1 year old thread
Yes, I set the working directory!
Thanks! That's the answer!
Hi,
how can I have those AdditionalParameters parameters applied to not just one ChromiumPortable user profile? Or where can I specify parameters for other profiles than default one.
At this point adding parameters to AdditionalParameters key in ChromiumPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\ChromiumPortable.ini applies to default browser profile only, and when I create another profile they are configured like if no parameters specified.
Sure I can specify some parameters in flags after creating profile, but not all of them.
