Question

I set Chrome as default brower. To open a URL in Chrome, I wrote:

Process.Start("http://domain.com");

Is any way to open that URL in incognito mode by c# (nomarly press Ctrl + Shift + N)?

Answer 1

You’ll need to create a process with a path to Chrome’s exe file, and use the argument --incognito.

The path to chrome in windows is typically:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe

Use the following code:

var url = "http://www.google.com";

using (var process = new Process())
{
    process.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe";
    process.StartInfo.Arguments = url + " --incognito";

    process.Start();
}
